In this episode, I interview Center College women's volleyball coach Pat Robidoux. After his playing career, Pat worked his way up as an assistant coach before taking over his first college coaching position at Southern Vermont College. In the two seasons prior to Pat arriving at SVC, the team won a total of 5 matches. Just two years later, the team won 21 matches, made it to the NCAA tournament, and he was named coach of the year in the conference.
