One of the best things coaches can do is have the hard conversations early.
In this clip from Bump Set Chat, former guest Cat Minyard wanted to me to ask @teamusa Head Coach @esull5 what club coaches can do to better prepare players for the next level.
Erik shares a powerful lesson he learned while coaching at @texasvolleyball for @jerrittelliott : starting honest conversations with incoming freshmen about expectations, roles, growth, and what it truly takes to succeed at the college level.
Sometimes the greatest preparation isn't another drill—it's helping athletes hear the truth, embrace feedback, and learn how to navigate difficult conversations before they arrive on campus.
This is a must-watch for players, parents, and coaches.
👇 Do you think young athletes get enough honest feedback before reaching the next level?
