Becoming better at beach volleyball is a goal many of us have, and the better and sharper tools we have for making that journey more efficient, the easier it will be to reach that goal. Regardless of if your problem is in passing, setting, attacking, defense, blocking, serving, the mental game, career strategy or anything else that is relevant, I believe podcast listening can be a crucial tool for gaining those skills.

In short, my claim is that podcasts can give you crucial in depth understanding of nuances of the game that you actually won't reach in other ways, all while costing you no money, practically speaking no time, and even making your life more enjoyable in the process.

Sounds too good to be true? I'm sure it might, but I believe this video will change your mind and give you efficient pathways towards mastery that you might never have thought of before.

If you feel that you don't have time to watch this video, you can listen to it "on the go" instead. Find it at https://www.learnbeachvolleyballfast.com/blog/2023/6/24/17-podcast-listening-and-beach-volleyball-the-most-important-tool-for-becoming-better or at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/17-podcast-listening-and-beach-volleyball-the/id1485342736?i=1000618204114 or by finding episode 17 on the Learn Beach Volleyball Fast Podcast in your favorite podcast app!

At 7:30 in this episode/video, I talk about how much payoff listening to for example 100 minutes of in depth, very nuanced discussions about certain aspects of the game has. I hope the point gets across in this episode already with what I said in the video, but I was debating whether or not to add more arguments for why investing this time is worthwhile for you.

Here is the script for a part of this episode that I ended up not adding, but it's here for you to read if you need/want more arguments:

"The thing is, 100 minutes of listening to theory might seem like a waste of time, but let’s say you decide to not do that and continue believing you should always square up when setting.. And one third of your sets end up being bad because you focus on squaring up instead of focusing on things that actually matter in the situations where you shouldn’t square up.

What’s going to happen?

Well, you will be frustrated because you can’t set well. So you’ll probably go and practice setting and squaring up even more. Let’s say you on average end up practicing setting and squaring up for 15 minutes per week because of your frustrations… One year has 52 weeks, which becomes 780 minutes.. Let’s say you do that for 3 years, that’s over 2300 minutes that you will end up practicing the things that actually won’t make you better! Now that 100 minute theory lesson that would save you from all this wasted practice doesn’t sound too bad right?!

The real cost of believing in false ideas about beach volleyball technique and information is one of many podcast episodes I will create in the future also, but for now, I hope this gives you some food for thought.

(And by the way, let me know in the comment below if you want me to make this in depth episode about squaring up or not when setting sooner rather than later!)"

Part 2 of probably the longest beach volleyball podcast interview to date. Full of insights around attacking, blocking, vision, purpose, strategy, mentality and other important aspects of beach volleyball!

"When you get the chance to listen to a coach who has won this much at such a high level, you better sit down, listen, and take notes" is what my friend said about the fact that I was about to record a podcast with Steve Anderson.

Now you have the chance to sit down or take a walk and listen to this very conversation, something you do not want to miss if becoming better at beach volleyball, avoiding mistakes and pitfalls that many fall into, or learning faster is something you are interested in. Hope you enjoy!

Is there a different way of going about becoming a better beach volleyball player than what most players do?

There definitely is, and this episode has in a sense two different missions: The first one is to invite you to see new possibilities in terms of how to gain new skills and become a better player, and the second one is for you to understand the background of the Learn Beach Volleyball Fast project better - so that you and all other beach volleyball players can gain more value from it in the future.
