Player Development Strategy Session

Description

Feeling unsure about your athlete’s development or next steps? Maybe you're not entirely sure how to support your athlete when they're feeling "off". Or perhaps you're struggling to decide if your player should follow their high school coach at their club. We understand that navigating youth sports, club volleyball, and school - while trying to keep your athlete's confidence high - can come with plenty of challenges. The Lab is now offering Player Development Strategy Sessions to help guide parents through the highs and lows of youth volleyball. Whether your athlete is an active participant within our programs or plays elsewhere, is a high level athlete or new to the sport, we are open and available to discuss your needs, your player's trajectory, and more. Strategy sessions can include topics like: -Player development & progress -Position fit and long-term projection -Club vs School volleyball strategy -Supporting your athlete without overstepping -Working through adversity -How athletes can advocate for themselves -Interpreting coach's feedback correctly -Program recommendations - & more Your strategy session is designed to provide clarity, a roadmap, and thoughtful recommendations.
