Episode 83: The jump float serve, Starting a season, and How I Built This

Our skill segment focuses on the jump float serve. For many players this can be their most effective serve if they spend some time and attention on it, since it allows for a great deal of versatility, and does not require a huge cannon of an arm to be successful. This segment goes into the teaching of the jump float serve as well as when and why to teach it to young players.

Our scenario segment deals with some ideas for starting off the season that you are trying to make the best season yet! Tod covers ideas from some practice organizing ideas to starting with the goals in mind, to understanding that coaching is a "people first" industry, and leading with your team's priorities.

For our resource segment we share information about How I Built This, a podcast from Guy Raz, that goes deep into the stories of creators. Their stories include company creators, thought leaders, and experts of all types as they tell their tales of woes and windfalls and everything in between, as they tried to build something great.
