Episode 31
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
Coaching can feel overwhelming - especially when no one ever showed you where to start.In this short episode, Korohen shares the five foundations she wishes someone had laid out when she first stepped into the gym: why skill comes before system, how to coach the age in front of you, how to choose systems based on your athletes, why culture is built early, and how clear communication prevents most problems before they start.This conversation is for:first-time coaches stepping into the roleformer players navigating their first season on the other side of the netexperienced coaches adjusting to a new age groupanyone staring at a blank practice plan wondering where to beginIf you’ve ever felt like you’re reacting instead of leading, this episode will help you reset and refocus on what actually drives athlete development.Korohen also introduces a new digital course built to give volleyball coaches structure, clarity, and direction - from foundational skill progressions and teaching cues to practice planning, systems, communication, and culture.Coaching matters. The way you teach, communicate, and lead shapes athletes far beyond the scoreboard.
