About to enter his first year on the Royals broadcast team, yet another chapter in an amazing Royals career, and a life's journey filled with roadblocks and triumphs. A story strong in determination and faith, and relemtless optimism and good humor. Enjoy!

Come promesso, dopo la puntata teorica, ecco finalmente la seconda parte dell'Episodio con Andrea Anastasi e Giulio Bregoli, dedicato all'attacco del destrimane da posto 2, un argomento molto affascinante nato dalla lectio magistralis del Prof. Prandi (Episodio 142). 🙋‍♂️

Grazie all'analisi dei video dei grandi campioni e campionesse, Andrea e Giulio ci aiutano a capire i dettagli e le sfaccettature che si nascondono dietro all'attacco dei giocatori destrimani da posto 2, sia che si tratti di opposti di ruolo (come Zaytsev o Egonu), sia che si tratti di schiacciatori in P1 (come Juantorena): parleremo infatti della rincorsa, degli ultimi due appoggi, delle direzioni d’attacco, dei colpi speciali e degli adattamenti situazionali.

Insomma, un altro episodio speciale!

Buon ascolto (e buona visione) a tutti!

La lectio magistralis del Prof. Prandi della scorsa puntata, dedicata all’attacco, ha riscosso grandi apprezzamenti da parte dei nostri ascoltatori, ma al tempo stesso, ha sollevato numerosi dubbi e interrogativi. 🤯 🧐

Molti di voi ci hanno scritto con la richiesta di approfondire le tematiche connesse all’attaccante di posto 2, in particolare quando si ha a che fare con giocatori destrimani. 🙋‍♂️

Abbiamo raccolto la vostra richiesta e, per farlo, ci siamo rivolti a due grandi allenatori: Andrea Anastasi (attuale Head Coach del Projekt Varsavia, nonché ex CT di Italia, Spagna, Polonia e Belgio) e Giulio Bregoli (Head Coach di Chieri e Vice Allenatore della nostra nazionale femminile).

Il loro contributo è stato talmente ricco che, anche in questo caso, così come avevamo già fatto nell’episodio con Marco Paglialunga, abbiamo sdoppiato la puntata: quest’oggi vi proponiamo infatti la parte teorica, in cui Andrea e Giulio ci forniscono le loro idee riguardo all’attaccante destrimane di posto 2, dalla rincorsa agli ultimi due appoggi, dalle direzioni d’attacco ai colpi speciali, fino ad arrivare ai criteri di scelta di un opposto.

Nella seconda parte (online da lunedì prossimo), invece, Andrea Anastasi e Giulio Bregoli commenteranno i video che ritraggono i principali interpreti destrimani di questo ruolo, analizzandone movimenti, tecniche e peculiarità.

Insomma, un doppio appuntamento unico nel suo genere, che speriamo risponda a tutti i vostri dubbi! 👍

Buon ascolto (e buona visione) a tutti!

Negli ultimi mesi, la produzione di materiale per noi allenatori di volley è cresciuta in modo esponenziale: corsi, webinar, aggiornamenti, eBook, slides, interviste, dispense… chi più ne ha più ne metta! Insomma, si trova davvero di tutto!

Ma noi di Coach Factor, ormai lo sapete, siamo incontentabili, quindi abbiamo voluto regalarvi un nuovo episodio, speciale come sempre, ma questa volta… ancora più speciale del solito!

Per farlo ci siamo rivolti ad uno dei mostri sacri del nostro sport, un allenatore che ha scritto la storia della pallavolo, un’icona per intere generazioni: stiamo parlando proprio di lui, del Professor Silvano Prandi!

Il Professor Prandi era già stato nostro ospite in occasione della Masterclass sull’attacco (Episodio 119 del 17 maggio 2020). Ma questa non è una semplice intervista, non è un webinar, non è nemmeno una Masterclass, ma molto di più: possiamo definirla una lectio magistralis, un compendio, un vero e proprio manuale, anzi “il Manuale dell’attaccante”!

Con l’ausilio di numerosi filmati e immagini, il Professor parla di tecniche di attacco, di rincorse, di direzioni, di extrarotazione, di situazioni ottimali ed estreme, di come sceglie e allena gli schiacciatori laterali e quelli centrali, dell’importanza della mano dominante e molto altro ancora.

Insomma, un'altra puntata davvero imperdibile!

Buon ascolto (e buona visione) a tutti!

New York Pride outside hitter and Four to Four podcast host Brandon Greenway joins the show this week! He talks about his unique start to his volleyball career growing up in Maryland to his college recruitment to Charleston in the EIVA, a very strangely timed position switch, and making his way to Denmark this past year for his first professional season. He also reacts to his and his team's experiences at the VLA Cup a few weeks ago, which was a stellar weekend full of volleyball, before chatting with Rob about their shared pursuit, volleyball podcasting. Brandon breaks some exclusive news about some of the Four to Four crew's summer plans, and tells some of the best stories shared on his show so far.

The team is approached by a couple who were swindled by a Eastern European Orphanage scam. In their attempt to rescue the young child the couple hopes to adopt, they run into more illegal activity and Parker is confronted by her past.

Sure the whole world is on fire and all I can do is think about the impending apocalypse, but for today's episode I simply needed to blow off some steam by getting stoned to the bone and giggling like a wee little sex pig. As is becoming a reoccurring theme, I had a guest cancel last minute so I went back to Friesen Point Studios so that super producer Dan could join me AND do all the post work editting for me. Ain't I a lil' stinker? We listen to Devo's Duty Now For The Future and discuss Scott Bakula's massive crank. This topic leads me to discover a new sexual fantasy, which I hope my wife hears and then tries to make a reality. Also, Dan quit Facebook and talks about how the site practically begs you not to leave. F U FB!! Anyway, it's another episode and I hope this one makes you laugh cause we could all use a good laugh right now. Thanks for listening and remember to be kind to one another!
