Early Season Priorities, The Olympics part 3, and Finding Mastery

Summary

In this conversation, Davis and Tod discuss the priorities for the beginning of the volleyball season. They emphasize the importance of serving tough and preventing aces, as well as finding reliable passers. They also highlight the need for strong hitters who can hit the ball with topspin and a right front blocker who can stop or touch the ball. They then shift their focus to the Olympics, discussing the dominance of the opposite position and the impact of instant replay. They also mention the fine line between winning and losing and the importance of the interaction between hitters and blockers. The conversation concludes with a discussion of their sponsor, Ball Time, and a recommendation for the podcast Finding Mastery with Michael Gervais.
