We discuss the opportunity to lead the Bruins, his first season at the helm, and how he is building his own culture while upholding UCLA's championship tradition.We also dive into the value of international coaching experience, bringing Milan to the staff, developing players, the realities of NIL and the transfer portal, and what it takes to remain competitive in today's college volleyball landscape.Plus, John shares advice for freshmen adjusting to college volleyball, what separates good players from great ones, what clubs should prioritize when developing athletes, and the most rewarding part of being a coach.If you enjoy conversations about volleyball, coaching, player development, recruiting and the people behind the game, subscribe to Bump Set Chat for more interviews with the coaches and athletes shaping the sport.👍 LIKE the video if you enjoyed the conversation.💬 COMMENT: What do you think separates a good volleyball player from a great one?🔔 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@BumpSetChat📸 FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bump_set_chat/#BumpSetChat #UCLAVolleyball #MensVolleyball | 1h 09m 24s | ||||||
| 9/27/26 | Kacey Jost's Journey: UBC, Pro Volleyball, Team Canada & LA28 | In this episode of Bump Set Chat, I sit down with Canadian National Team libero Kacey Jost to talk about her incredible volleyball journey — from growing up around hockey and dance, to discovering volleyball, playing at UBC, starting her professional career, earning a spot with Team Canada, and ultimately helping Canada qualify for the LA28 Olympic Games. 🇨🇦🏐Kacey's journey is anything but traditional. We talk about her early days playing multiple sports, the importance of club volleyball, the coaches who helped shape her, and why she ultimately chose UBC and U SPORTS over pursuing NCAA volleyball in the United States.We also get into her transition from opposite to libero, what it took to adjust to the collegiate game, her first professional contract, and what life is really like playing volleyball professionally.Then we dive into Team Canada.Kacey shares what it was like finding out she was traveling with the national team, her first experiences around Canada's senior team, playing alongside some of the country's top players, and taking that next step up to international volleyball.We also talk about working with Giovanni Guidetti, her experience during VNL 2026, and some of the moments that stood out during Canada's historic run.And, of course, we talk about the moment Canada defeated the Dominican Republic to secure a spot at LA28.What was going through Kacey's mind before that match? What did it feel like when the final point was over? And what does it mean to help bring Canadian women's volleyball back to the Olympic stage?We finish with Kacey's life away from the court, pre-game rituals, mental resets, the toughest position in volleyball, the people who have influenced her career, and what's next with LOVB Madison.If you enjoy conversations with volleyball players, coaches and people working to grow the game, make sure to subscribe to Bump Set Chat.#Volleyball #KaceyJost #TeamCanada #CanadianVolleyball #LA28 #OlympicVolleyball #UBCVolleyball #VolleyballPodcast #VNL #NORCECA #LOVB #LOVBMadison #VolleyballJourney #Libero #WomensVolleyball #USPORTS | 1h 35m 42s | ||||||
