The episode discusses the challenges of qualifying season for youth volleyball and the pressures parents face regarding college recruitment.

Today we covered how we are all neck-deep in qualifying season. We discussed the pressure for parents to try and make sure their kids get on the radar for college recruitment and what our experience has been as the coaches have begun showing up to the courts for our older daughter's team. We also brought up how for the second time, the police showed up to our court in Orlando.
