| 10/19/26 | Talent Doesn’t Supersede Character: What To Do When A Player(s) Becomes A Problem | Every coach eventually faces it: a player who’s talented, maybe even your best, but is quietly dragging the whole team down. In this episode, I share the story of cutting my best player at Seneca, the step-by-step process I use when a player’s behaviour starts damaging team culture, and what to do when cutting isn’t an option. We dive into: Why one player can derail a volleyball team faster than in almost any other sport The difference between an unhappy player and a toxic one, and why coaches mix them up The warning signs that teammates are playing scared How to run a players-only meeting, including the questions to coach your captains to ask Why “hoping it goes away” makes it worse What to do when you can’t cut a player: playing time, practice suspensions and clear consequences What happened to our program the season after we made the call Click here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.comClick here to join my workshop - http://volleyballworkshop.comReach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB | 24m 59s | ||||||
| 10/12/26 | How an Olympic Coach Plans, Practices & Prepares With John Speraw | In this episode, we go back into the vault. In 2021, I sat down with John Speraw, former head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team and UCLA, and now President and CEO of USA Volleyball. Recorded around the Tokyo Olympics, this conversation is packed with lessons from one of the best minds in the game that hold up just as well today. In this episode: Behind the scenes of the Tokyo Olympics How John approaches seasonal planning Practice structure and planning at the highest level Why fundamentals still matter at every level Game day preparation and approach And much more Click here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.com Click here to join my workshop - http://volleyballworkshop.com Reach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB | 45m 09s | ||||||
| 10/5/26 | Winning Is Not For Everyone (But The Pursuit Is) | Most players think showing up to practice is the sacrifice. It's not. In this episode, I show coaches how to teach their athletes what a serious competitor actually looks like. In this episode: The line in the volleyball manual that every player signs, and why most don't understand it Why showing up is the floor, not the ceiling The ladder every athlete has to climb How Daenan went from club to one of the best middles in the world The honest truth: some gifted kids make it on talent, and some hard workers won't make it at all The player who never made the roster but changed the whole program How to teach this to every kid in your gym, even the ones who won't make it Click here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.com Click here to join my workshop - http://volleyballworkshop.com Reach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB | 24m 03s | ||||||
| 9/28/26 | How to Optimize Your Rotation (And Win More Close Sets) | Most coaches pick their starting rotation the same way every match: setter serves first, best hitter up front, and go. But your starting rotation quietly decides which rotations get extra turns in close sets, and that can be the difference between winning and losing. In this episode, I break down how to analyze your rotation data and build a strategy to improve your sideout and breakpoint percentages. We dive into: The three default rotation strategies most coaches use, and why they might be costing you points The surprising research on how often each server comes up for a third serve in a close set A simple formula to measure your rotation efficiency, and what the number tells you What to do if you don't have any data yet (three quick strategies you can use tonight) How to match your best rotations against your opponent's best server Why so many top teams choose to receive first, and the one situation where serving first makes sense If you want the full system, including how to place your players inside each rotation, join me for the live training inside DVA.

| 9/21/26 | The Lego Method: The Secret To Faster Skill Acquisition (Passing Edition) | Every parent knows Lego instructions are so clear a five-year-old can build the set on the box without help. What if you taught your athletes the same way? In this episode, I break down the exact method I use to teach skills so clearly that any athlete on your team, at any level, can pick them up faster, using passing as the live example so you can apply it in your gym this week. Why most coaches unintentionally slow down their own athletes' skill acquisition without realizing it The 3-part framework you can use to break any skill into "Lego pieces" your players can actually follow The one detail in a passing platform almost every coach fails to correct Why teaching movement before mechanics changes how fast your athletes improve How to apply this method to any skill you teach, not just passing Click here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.com Click here to join my workshop - http://volleyballworkshop.com Reach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB | 25m 33s | ||||||
| 9/14/26 | The Invisible Curriculum: 5 Things Your Practice Plan Doesn't Show | Your practice plan has drills, reps, and systems on it. But there's a second curriculum running underneath your entire season that no one writes down and it might be shaping your team more than anything you actually drew up. In this episode, I break down 5 unwritten lessons every coach is teaching whether they mean to or not, and the exact moments in practice where you're either building your culture or quietly letting it slip. These aren't drills. They're moments. And how you respond to them is the real program you're building. In this episode we dive into: The customer service idea Culture Standard of excellence Getting pixie dusted Response to pressure/adversity Team first mentality Coachability Modelling And a few more key concepts Click here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.com Click here for my workshop - http://volleyballworkshop.com Reach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB | 28m 20s | ||||||
