My guest today is Jason Watson . Who is Jason? Jason is the head women’s volleyball coach at the university Arkansas women’s volleyball. Prior to that he had successful head coaching stance at my alma mater Arizona State and BYU.

What’s unique about Jason is that he is a program builder. He took over a program in Arkansas. That is a major conference in the SEC and had not had a lot of historical success and since he took over the program in 2016 he has since taken them to new Heights, including making the NCAA tournament 8 times.

In his previous stops at ASU and BYU, he also took programs not known for their success and helped elevate them. Like I said Jason has a knack for building programs.

He does this not subscribing to traditional practice method where athletes do isolated drills, and then hope that they can put it together a scrimmage or live action, he instead helps put his athletes in game like situations where they could adapt their skills and become better volleyball players. You can attribute a lot of his success to his practice structure.

I really enjoyed this conversation with Jason, we talk about his coaching journey and practice design from when he started, to what it is today!

Before I let you get to the episode, I wanted to let you know that we have a brand new course called the Ecological Dynamics of Soccer, which is currently on sale and available for purchase. It’s our good friend and friend of the podcast Ben Franks. B en is a wicked smart dude and always delivers so be sure to check that out. I’ll put the in the show notes.
