Ep. 45 - Is Playing Loud BETTER?

Parents, players, and coaches have all heard it and maybe even believe it.  “BE LOUDER if you want to win.”  “You’re too quiet!”  Or, even, “If you don’t make more noise out there, you won’t be starting - or playing.”  But is playing LOUDER really what makes an athlete better or are we simply using the wrong word when trying to encourage more ‘AGGRESSIVE’ or ‘CONFIDENT’ play from our young athletes?  In other words, is being loud really a key ingredient to volleyball success, or is it merely a byproduct of excellence for some players and teams?  Listen in to laugh and learn as the former pros from Volleyballogy explore the source of the ‘loudness theory’ and whether it’s a useful tool, or just a myth perpetuated by coaches and players who aren’t properly prepared.
