EP09 - Daniela Loureiro: Learning and Growing as a Player With Your Own Coaching Experiences and Creating a Positive Team Culture with Young Teams

This week I have a little twist for you guys! I usually bring volleyball players here so you can learn with their experiences as athletes (it seems very obvious, I know!). But today… Today me and Daniela talked a lot about her coaching career. Daniela is a huge reference in Portugal. She’s been part of the National Team as a libero for several years, and has always been known to play with lots of energy, passion and grit, making her a great example for so many players. So maybe you already know this Dani, but did you also know she has been working as a coach with younger athletes since she was 16/17 years old? Well, if you didn’t, today’s episode is a great chance for you to hear about how these experiences helped her as an athlete, as a person and obviously as a coach too! Her views of how to teach younger players, how to make them want to work hard and aim to be a professional volleyball player in the future are some interesting topics you can hear here today. If you want to follow Dani’s journey but didn’t quite catch the social media handle it’s: @dani_loureiro17. Don’t be shy and share your thoughts on the comment section! I would really appreciate to have your opinion on the voting section too (5 stars if it’s not too much to ask eheh!). If you’d like a bonus communication platform, I’m on Instagram @martahurst and I read every message, so I’ll hear you out for sure.
