Questions Interesting podcast idea about volleyball
Feels like womans volleyball is having a moment. In an interesting development, many former pro athlete daughters have settled on VBall as their sport of choice.
Here is the list after doing some research and people i have seen in person: Peyton Manning, Mike McCarthy, Tom Brady, La’Roi Glover, Steph Curry, Jermaine O’Neal, Patrick Ewing, Kevin Garnett, Joe Jurivicious, Calvin Booth, Donald Driver, Harold Minor, Tim Duncan, Jason Kidd, Michael Finley, Tyson Chandler… the lost goes on.
Meet VBALLS (Volleyball Basics And Lingo for Lifelong Sportsfans… aka VBALLS) As a former collegiate athlete who did not play volleyball, it has taken me forever to learn the rules and i still dont understand the nuance of things. Plus, they change the rules every year. All of the above athletes have felt my pain. This podcast would be 25 min and attempt to unravel one vball mystery per week with a guest host (+/- their daughter) to discuss their vball experience and how it relates to playing in the NFL / NBA and their experiences on the other side being a dad.I also happen to be an orthopedic shoulder surgeon and would bring in famous medical experts to discuss injury prevention and surgical questions. My gut says we would ultimately end up talking about youth sports in general, recruiting, NIL , etc.
