Welcome to Episode 401 of the Strength Coach Podcast,
brought to you by PerformBetter.com
In this episode, Anthony chats with Missy Mitchell-McBeth about all things volleyball, drawing off the topics in her book "Developmental to Division 1: Strength & Conditioning for the Volleyball Athlete"
Missy's Bio:
"Over the last two decades, I've witnessed countless talented volleyball players never reaching their full potential—not due to a lack of dedication, but because of insufficient and outdated training methods. This realization drove me to pour my years of experience and knowledge into creating a solution that addresses these shortcomings head-on. That is why I have created strength and conditioning resources to help coaches, parents, and athletes unlock players' full potential."
My Experience Includes:
-2 Years in my current role: Director of Sports Performance at a Volleyball Club
-7 Years as a Division I Strength & Conditioning Coach
-6 Years as a Full-Time High School Strength Coach
-4 Years as a High School Volleyball Coach
-4 Years Consulting for Collegiate & High School Volleyball Programs
