TBH Episode 37: From Passion to Profession: Breaking into Coaching
Episode 37
Thursday, 9 April, 2026

Send us Fan MailIn this Triple Block Heads volleyball podcast episode, the hosts discuss how to enter coaching, emphasizing that many start in club volleyball and should research local clubs, meet and “interview” club directors, and seek organizations with year-round opportunities (teams, camps, clinics, lessons, tournaments) to build coaching and administrative experience. They stress humility, learning through mentorship, observing different coaching styles, and the importance of relationships in shaping a coach’s trajectory, including for those without playing backgrounds who must earn trust through hard work. The conversation covers volunteering, working camps, officiating, clinics, and advocating for yourself to reach college coaching, noting Division I involves extensive non-volleyball responsibilities. They also highlight alternative volleyball careers (analytics, operations) and advise treating club coaching like a job interview by communicating goals, providing references, and asking questions—ultimately encouraging listeners to “shoot your shot.”Instagram - @tripleblockheadsX - @tripleblockheadThreads - tripleblockheadsFacebook - Triple Block HeadsYoutube - @TripleBlockHeads
