02. Build the Vision: Your Best Volleyball Season Yet of Play, Fun, & Work

Intentionally envision & create the experiences you most wish to have on your beach volleyball journey.OVERVIEWCoach Wade explains that having a clear vision makes a great volleyball season more likely, drawing on ideas like Stephen Covey’s “begin with the end in mind” and Tony Robbins’ focus on outcomes. Aimed primarily at youth athletes (but applicable to others), he suggests using a composition notebook to write a future-looking reflection: imagining the season is over and asking what would need to have happened to feel happy with progress. Coach Wade encourages setting ambitious, specific goals without becoming rigid if results differ, and expanding beliefs about what’s possible. The vision should include three parts: how you want to feel and experience the sport, what it looks like to have fun and stay engaged in competition beyond just winning, and what work habits and research you will do that realistically lead to the desired outcomes. Coach Wade previews later videos on supporter and relationship visions.KEY MOMENTS00:00 Season Vision Setup01:02 Three-Part Vision Plan01:56 Notebook Exercise02:21 Future Progress Question04:15 Aim Higher Goals05:59 Joyful Play Mindset08:08 Work Behind Results09:29 Wrap Up Next StepsLINKSWebsite & Club InformationInstagramFacebookTikTokYouTube
