VB Adrenaline Podcast

We talk about the upcoming Nebraska vs. Texas match set for Las Vegas in August and how great it is to have college volleyball's most heated rivalry back on again.  I also tell you about my personal journey trying to bring the rivalry back to reality and how months of work and hundreds of hours ended up in an L, but it was a crazy story for this cookie-dough salesman, that's for sure.Then I break down the last matchup between the two teams and why things are pretty heated between the fanbases.  Even more reason why you'd better be in Vegas on August 29th and 30th.  There is no other ticket for a volleyball fan, sorry.Support the showConnect with VB Adrenaline:Check out the websiteConnect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.comPS- Do you love this podcast?

We tell some stories of some perfect culture fits that weren't highly ranked recruits and how they are thriving because they picked culture over anything else.7.

I get back on my kick of trying to make college volleyball more exciting again.  Pumping up the need for better rivalries and more exciting coaching characters in the sport.I point how colorful HC's in other revenue sports fuel rivalries and get "edge spectators" to tune in and spend $ on tickets, apparel and draw additional interest to a program or contest that normally they would not.  Still going back to my main point that eventually volleyball is going to need to draw my "Buffalo Wild Wings Crowd" to truly grow and survive and thrive if they want to catch basketball as a revenue sport (at the college level).  Also, it's just boring listening to the same old press conference where every coach and every athlete says the same boring rehearsed line time after time.Plus we get into staff shouts from the latest recruiting weeks and who has been crushing it at the end of the Select Camp Circuit before we head into Prep VB season.Lots of fun banter as the college "fan" in me comes out and I draw up some potential trash talking rivalries that might be fun to see for VB Fans:)Support the showConnect with VB Adrenaline:Check out the websiteConnect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.comPS- Do you love this podcast?

I talk with Louisville Associate HC Todd Chamberlain about many topics in his career at Louisville from: Talent evaluating, to building their culture, treating people the right way, locking down hometown recruits from Day 1, all coaches having valuable say and knowing who they could get and who they couldn't.He talks about the early years of building to get a step better and how they struggled to fill their 1000 seat arena in the first year, but they invited anyone who wanted to be a Louisville fan to do so.One of the great guys in the sport who has been a part of the recruiting and talent evaluating for the past 8 years.  One of the people I have been fortunate enough to meet and know in this sport.Support the showConnect with VB Adrenaline:Check out the websiteConnect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.comPS- Do you love this podcast?

We explain the other half of the PPV Pyramid and how it came to be.  There is the athlete PPV Chart and then the program PPV Chart.  Recruitology is the study of volleyball recruiting and it's patterns and predictability.  I break down who is rivals with who, what programs tend to recruit where and and why the actual athlete PPV score doesn't matter as much as the Level does.  This is a generalized look at my study of program recruiting trends over the past 3 seasons and predicting this class from information gathered through our website and communication with prospects, etc.It may be interesting if you are a volleyball recruiting nerd and it may be extremely boring or useless who knowsSupport the showConnect with VB Adrenaline:Check out the websiteConnect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.comPS- Do you love this podcast?

We dive deep into some sensitive subjects, dealing with hot topics in our world of recruiting and helping athletes and families have the experience that is best for them.We tackle topics like athletes being unable to attend Select Camps due to club practice, overpractice, and too long a season, as well as the insane month of June for 16s.Then we dive into our yearly topic of WHY would any club ever tell prospects that they ARE NOT ALLOWED to talk about camps they are going to or schools they are looking at ?  We discuss why that benefits the athlete and the reasons why the clubs may be doing it in their best interest, not that of the athlete.Other topics covered...." Anytime a coach or club person tells you 'you are not allowed to... ' that should probably be a RED FLAG," and why athletes should and need to speak up about their experiences MORE in HS and College.This aligns with what we teach in our Str8 Talk Recruiting Series, which focuses on educating people on the process and asking why.  This is an individual process that clubs shouldn't have blanket policies on.Support the showConnect with VB Adrenaline:Check out the websiteConnect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.comPS- Do you love this podcast?

Matt Ulmer sure has had a busy week.  The former Head Coach of Oregon gave college volleyball plenty to talk about last week when he took the Head Coaching position at the University of Kansas.  The last week has been slightly hectic, but the new leader of the Jayhawks is taking it all in stride and he took a few minutes to talk this morning.He describes the process, WHY KANSAS, his immediate goals and long term plan.  Plus why this seems like such a great fit.  Then we talk about what all goes into taking a new job, from moving your family, to assembling a staff and then recruiting.You will hear how busy Coach Ulmer is and why it's even more classy of him to take the time to talk with us.  This seems like a Home Run in Lawrence and a move that could put #RockChalk on the verge of being the "Next Big Thing" in college volleyball.Then we conclude filling you in on a couple of new projects coming for our fanbase on the site.  Thanks for following.Support the showConnect with VB Adrenaline:Check out the websiteConnect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.comPS- Do you love this podcast?

We sat down with Louisville Sophomore Setter Nayellis Cabello who was named ACC Freshman of the Year and also helped guide the Cardinals to the NCAA National Championship Match in December.  She has also been horribly overlooked by the national volleyball media during her prep and young college career, but that doesn't phase the energetic Floridian one bit.  Her upbeat, care-free attitude is evident on and off the court and it was just what the doctor ordered this season for the Cards as she fit in perfectly with their veteran lineup.  Listen to her talk about recruiting, leadership and how she opens up and is COMPLETELY REAL talking about nerves and true emotions during some of the biggest matches of last year's season.  These are the athletes that are so easy to cheer for and really should get so much more positive press in the game.  Don't kid yourself she's one hell of a volleyball player as well.Support the showConnect with VB Adrenaline:Check out the websiteConnect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.comPS- Do you love this podcast?

Texas commit Genevieve Harris talks with VBAdrenaline about her early years of volleyball and her extremely competitive nature.  She talks about how she was misjudged by some as a bad teammate, but rather than getting upset or angry she used that to see things from others point of view and become a better leader, player and friend.  It also helped grabbed the attention of some of the top programs in the country and set her apart from others in the country when it came to recruiting.Harris talks more about training, competing and attitude when it comes to college, Texas and what it takes to succeed and how her ability to accept criticism and thrive from it and not pout or get angry about it and how that has truly helped her achieve so much.This is a great episode as this is a problem we see all the time with athletes and parents who get upset all the time with little things like rankings or offers or our PPV scores and college coaches truly do look for things like that when weeding through recruiting stacks or final lists for scholarship offers.  Harris is a great example of how to elevate your status with a Champions AttitudeSupport the showConnect with VB Adrenaline:Check out the websiteConnect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.comPS- Do you love this podcast?
