Technical Timeout - The Podcast on Coaching Volleyball

10 (A): Janie Guimond on a global approach to coaching young players

Synopsis

So this week we have another Athlete episode, but this time, I talk to a female player from the Canadian National Team, fellow Québécois Janie Guimond.   Janie is from a very small town in Quebec and is not even 5’5. She wasn’t recruited to university but managed to be a starting libero on the University of Montreal’s team before becoming the libero of Team Canada. She has a lot of determination and she is the walking proof that coaches should be careful before cutting players.     In this episode, Janie really helps us see the role of a volleyball coach through the eyes of a player. She talks about her university coach and about how he was able to treat her like more than just a volleyball player, but more like a human being, with a personal life outside of volleyball. She vouches for a more global approach in coaching young kids and shares a very cool drill to train defense! You don’t want to miss that one.
