Ep. 43 - Hugh McCutcheon: Championship Behaviors

Pick up your copy of Hugh McCutcheon’s Championship Behaviors: A Model for Competitive Excellence RIGHT HERE - it really is a must read for every player, coach, & parent! In this episode we are pleased and proud to have Olympic gold & silver medalist, Hugh McCutcheon join us for an important discussion about the state of youth coaching & youth volleyball, in general.   Hugh is among the giants of the volleyball world, both as a player and as a coach.  Inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2018, this native of New Zealand (and former nation team player there) had previously served as the head coach of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Men’s Volleyball Gold Medalist squad from the United States and later served in the same role for the London 2012 WOMEN’S Olympic silver medal winning team - also from the United States.   In 2022 - and largely due to his children’s experiences in youth sports - Hugh has stepped away from his most recent head coaching position at the University of Minnesota in order to take on a new challenge and newly created role at the university dedicated to mentor and help train coaches of ALL sports about the nature of true ‘Championship Behaviors’ - the title of Hugh’s 2022 released book that provides ‘A Model for Competitive Excellence in Sports.’   Please enjoy this episode and the wisdom of Hugh McCutcheon - and no matter where you're listening or watching - please subscribe to our YouTube channel so we can continue to bring you the brightest minds and the biggest names from the world of volleyball.
