Thank you for answering my questions! Love your content, been experimenting with wrist snap from your video. Keep up the great work, Hope to see more!

Thanks so much for your super in-depth answer! Really helpful to hear from someone who really has played volleyball all over the world. All the tangents were very helpful for me as well, actually, haha. I can tell you are a very thoughtful and detail-oriented person. I actually go to school in Los Angeles! Maybe I should go to the beaches more often... I liked your answer about food too. I love pasta and rice is great too. I have to be cautious about overdoing it on the carbs. I think you're right in some ways in that everyone has to sort of navigate their own journey with nutrition for themselves. Thanks again for answering and I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do with this channel next!

Thanks for the answer. Lots of good stuff to consider

Thank you for another great episode. I am also guilty to be a coach who talks (too much). Just like you said, if one explains anything, then why it is relevant, and even potentially compare with alternatives. All of this cannot be conveyed in 10s (I don't believe in 10s explanations :P) That said, it is hard for me not to intervene, not to stop a drill and not to start talking more when the following happens (among other things): student starts showing other "mistakes" ot optimized techniques that were not the primary focus of the drill. Ill give an example: My student was working on bump setting, before the drill starts, I discussed the technique, ideal\optimal positioning, height of the set etc.... That took a bit of time (not 10s). We start the drill, and I start noticing that his running approach to the set also needs adjustments. Rather than continue the drill with an un-optimized way (at least in my book), I stopped it and started talking and explaining the approach too... Here we go for another 2min... I realize, I should have taken more time to analyze what led to his "un-optimized" setting and have a better speech that also included the approach. Realistically though, there are always things that Ill start noticing after the drill has started.... Of course, it is up to me the coach to decide to let it go today, or whether it is important to fix it too..

Hey Alex, what are the living expenses for a beach volleyball month in bali you're going for low budget? :) Thinking about spending some time there during the european winter. Hope things are going a bit better for you now! Greetings, Torge
