About this episode

Gina Mancuso-Prososki joins Doc to discuss the recent transfers in pro volleyball and her journey as a player.

Is LOVB’s private equity model explicitly poaching Major League Volleyball's most marketable stars, or is this an intelligent talent shift that evens out the sport? In this episode of the Major League Minute, Doc and Gina Mancuso-Prososki break down the massive wave of 11+ transfers—including Mimi, Brooke, Nati, and Elena Oglivie—and address the brewing online controversy surrounding alleged "predatory contracts" in pro volleyball.Plus, we celebrate World Volleyball Day by diving into Gina’s journey from National Gatorade Player of the Year under John Cook and JJ Tochek to her time playing overseas in Azerbaijan, Istanbul, and Puerto Rico. We also debate the ultimate sand volleyball dilemma: Is dumping the ball over on one an intelligent veteran strategy or pure "Bush League" volleyball?👇 SUBSCRIBE to help us break our 200-subscriber milestone and hit the notification bell for fast-paced MLV analysis, tactical insights, and the best volleyball content on the internet!Follow Us on Social…
