  • 8 Advanced Ways to Improve Your Jump Serve (Without Changing Technique)
    Nov 20 2025

    In this episode, I break down eight advanced ways to make your jump serve more dangerous — without changing your technique. After playing at three World Championships, I’ve learned that great serving isn’t only about mechanics. It’s about identity, intention, psychology, vision, landing control, and how you handle pressure.

    I’ll tell you how to build your serving identity, reset your mind with a quick routine, attack passers with purpose, read their body language, and train under real match stress. If you want a jump serve that holds up when it matters, this one is for you.

  • Stop Giving Free Balls! Master the Aggressive Bump and Stay Dangerous
    Nov 17 2025

    Today we’re talking about a skill almost nobody trains — but every smart player needs. The aggressive bump. You can’t spike every ball, and real match situations are messy: bad sets, low balls, off-balance contacts… they happen constantly. The best players don’t panic. They adapt. In this episode, I’ll show you how the aggressive bump can turn a “lost” situation into real pressure on the opponent.

    You’ll learn when to use it, which mistakes you must avoid, where to place it to make defenders suffer, and how to execute it with confidence. This one skill can completely change how dangerous you are on the court — especially when things aren’t perfect.

    If you want to stop giving free balls and start controlling the rally even from tough situations, this episode is for you. Let’s jump in.

  • One-Handed Plays in Volleyball: Techniques and Avoidances
    Nov 7 2025

    In volleyball, we always want to play with both hands — that’s how you keep control and consistency. But sometimes, you just don’t have time. The ball is off, you’re under pressure, or you’re diving to save it.

    In this episode, I’ll tell you when it actually makes sense to play one-handed, what mistakes to avoid, and how to use your open palm to control the ball instead of just swinging your fist.

    These are real match situations — and if you learn to handle them the right way, you’ll start saving points that most players lose.

    Let’s talk about how to make that one-handed play your secret weapon.
