In Episode 2 of Preseason Push, we take you directly into the action with a raw blend of live high school fall league audio, and postgame feedback inside the locker room after a college. This episode is designed to sharpen your lens heading into the season on how to serve the game by keeping coaches coaching, players playing, and officials in rhythm with each other.

We break down a collection of high-impact teaching points like adopting a “next play mentality” and auditing your inner voice with positive self-talk only. We dive into nuanced court coverage strategies—like not blowing while rotating, initiating center rotation during mid-court traps, and picking up partner cues to improve crew cohesion. You’ll also learn how to maintain conviction, stay cool under pressure, and manage chaos with clarity. From recognizing verbal flops to vocalizing “dive-on foul,” this episode is packed with small, actionable nuggets that sharpen your judgment, elevate your voice, and help you be an A+ in every situation.
