Upcoming Video Trips

Tonya Johnson

We will be visiting the south next week as VTS takes a look at the training sessions of the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech.  Lizzy Stemke is at the helm of the University of Georgia.  Lizzy is a former All American setter at the University of Wisconsin and a past member of the USA National Team.  Tonya Johnson, a alumnus of the Louisiana State Tigers, has a highly competitive team at Georgia Tech.  I have no doubt both will contribute to the VTS video library.  In the upcoming weeks, we will also visit legendary Orange County Volleyball Club with Head Coach Charlie Brande.  Coach Brande has won multiple national championships with the Orange County program. 

Paula Weishoff Podcast

It was a great conversation with former Olympic coach and player, Paula Weishoff.  We spoke extensively about her training with former national team coaches Arie Selinger, Chuck Erbe and Terry Liskevych helped her form her own coaching philosophy.    Also, we talked about her most recent experience with Hugh McCutcheon.  Great insights from a legendary player, who is currently the Head Coach at UC-Irvine.  Paula has coached numerous Youth and Junior National team, to go along with her most recent experience with the USA National team at the London Olympics.

VTS Tops 200,000 Views

We are happy to focus on the Volleyball Training Solutions site on Dartfish TV recently surpassed the 200,000 view marker.  VTS is happy that so many coaches are taking advantage of a tool to broaden their coaching skills.

Share Video Collection

Pending interest from VTS members, we will create a separate video collection from members so you can share favorite drills.  I would really like to see this concept advance.  I know there are some good things going on in various training sessions.  If interested, drop me a note and I can get things cooking.

Technology Ideas from Rise Volleyball 

I'm always interested in what coaches are doing, especially from a technology perspective.  Below is a note from a VTS member, Loren Anderson.  I thought it was great use of technology to provide feedback to players.
