We also discuss the dynamics within the Baylor coaching team, emphasizing teamwork and collaboration.

    To round out the episode, we had some fun with a game of 'This or That'—always a light-hearted way to end our chats. It’s a must-listen for anyone passionate about volleyball and eager to learn from one of the game’s rising stars!
