This week's skill is critical for every coach: finding a practice planning process that works for you to ensure the most optimal practice for your team. Every coach plans practice differently, but what is most important is discovering a consistent process that brings about really great practices. Without proper planning practices invariably falter or lack the necessary organization to be as effective as they could be. In this episode we go into the process that Davis uses to plan his practices and what listeners can take from how he sets up highly impactful practices. In our scenario segment, we discuss a skill that is underutilized: using evaluations to help yourself and program get better. Often coaches shy away from evaluations because they can be uncomfortable and can expose aspects of our coaching that are not operating at a high level. This is equally why evaluations are important. They can point out our "blind spots" and help us to realize our greater potential. On this episode, Tod discusses how he uses evaluations and how others can learn from their players, other coaches, and parents to help make everyone better. We always share one great resource each week, and this week it is a great resource from Cassidy Lichtman, a highly successful player for Stanford University, an Athletes Unlimited athlete, and a motivational speaker. Her website, P/ath Sports, is a great source of all types of videos related to the "soft skills" of being an elite performer. Topics include building confidence, identity and empowerment, and becoming a great teammate and much more. The videos on the site are not all from volleyball players, in fact, they are mostly from well-known athletes and coaches from outside of volleyball. The videos are powerful and can really help athletes to reach their full potential. Skill of the week: How to utilize a process and routine for creating practice plans that are efficient and effective Scenario of the week: Using coaching evaluations to make everyone better and more effective The Art of Coaching Volleyball Videos discussed on The VolleyPod This Week focused on AOC founders' ideas about practice planning: John Dunning discusses how to divide up coach and player roles during practice for the most impact possible: https://www.theartofcoachingvolleyball.com/roles-during-practice/ Russ Rose teaches coaches how to be better at designing practices in the following video: https://www.theartofcoachingvolleyball.com/practice-planning-and-design-with-russ-rose/ Terry Liskevych goes into how to use 10 segments of practice for efficient practice planning: https://www.theartofcoachingvolleyball.com/planning-effective-practices-ten-segments-planning/ The Resource of the Week, P/ath Sports by Cassidy Lichtman, can be found here: https://www.pathsports.org/

Join us on today's episode as Carlette and Kathy discuss How Women Win after hearing from Professional Volleyball Player and Founder of the Non-Profit, P/ATH, Progress through Athletics, Cassidy Lichtman!WINNING STRATEGIES1. Honor what is important to you, especially from a place of curiosity. Women have a tendency to have the desire to start with grace; they know they do not know everything, and everybody is a learner. Asking the right questions without being defensive or accusatory will help everyone to learn about whatever the topic is rather than making it all about you.2. Leave a legacy that you will be proud of. Many coaches have the ability to reignite the passion they have for the sport strong enough for next-gens to be able to do what they do as coaches. Especially when coaching women, it is important to allow them the opportunity to grow as a leader to be able to coach both women and men.3. Use your passion to step into the change that matters to you. If there are experiences you wish you could change from a coaching perspective, be the change that you want to see in the world. Use what you have learned from past experiences and take it to the next level. Stay tuned THIS FRIDAY to hear Kathy and Carlette Team Up with our next guest on How Women Win Our Way with.

How Women Win Our Way – with CHAMP10N Guest with Professional Volleyball Player and Founder of the Non-Profit, P/ATH, Progress through Athletics, Cassidy Lichtman!JOIN US On the Journey to Discover How Women Win Our Way…Check out this week's 10 talks podcast episode to hear HOW WOMEN WIN with Cassidy Lichtman.WINNING STRATEGIES1. Women coaches coaching women players can often form a stronger relationship with each other since they know where exactly they are coming from with a gender perspective. Ask your players what they think their opinions are, especially as a young girl in order to teach them that their opinion matters and they can formulate one on their own. Helping youth girls in sport will create more pathways for them to follow that into their far future instead of deterring them early. 2. Be transparent when it comes to why you are doing what you are doing as a coach. Have a reason and a why behind everything that you do. Not being able to have those conversations with players may lose respect from these athletes and it begins to formulate an environment of arrogance and closed doors. 3. Establish the standard and protect the culture. Communicating these expectations early in the season will make conflict resolutions flow much easier when it arises later on. If conflict does come up, players can remind each other of the standard and what is expected of them at the program they are competing in. The coach can also step in if it becomes necessary. Make sure to repeat these expectations throughout the season, not just one and done.Stay tuned next week to hear how Kathy and Carlette are Teaming Up to Discover, Design, and Do – "Winning Our Way".

In this episode of the "Victory Over Injury" Podcast presented by Andrews Sports Medicine, Dr. Michael K. Ryan takes a special deep dive into the life, career and experience of Cassidy Lichtman. An incredibly accomplished individual, who has and continues to overcome pain, she sheds light on how to persevere against overwhelming odds. Cassidy is an extremely accomplished athlete, coach, and entrepreneur whose success could have easily been derailed early in life. Yet, she possesses a unique internal force that has allowed her to quiet and overcome a chronic struggle that continues to affect her daily life. By refusing to succumb to an atypical affiliation, and actively choosing to respond with grit, will, optimism and purpose, our guest was named Prep Volleyball High School Junior of the Year and elected to the San Diego Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005. She was a four-year scholarship athlete on the Stanford University women's volleyball team, and was selected All-American First Team in 2009 and 2010, and First-Team Academic All-American in 2010. She competed on the U.S. Women's National Volleyball team from 2011 to 2016, making every roster in 2013 on her way to numerous international medals. Cassidy took on coaching in 2016 as an assistant at Stanford and was part of the National Championship team that year. She founded “Play with Purpose” volleyball clinic, which supports the Ronald McDonald House, and recently launched P/ATH (Progress through Athletics) a platform that seeks to position the next generation of athletes for a better world through empathy and empowerment.
The Podcast visits with Cassidy Lichtman who currently runs the nonprofit P/ATH, which works within the sports world to better develop skills around empathy and empowerment for athletes.
