Whole Athlete Training is BACK

The WAT program returns with eight monthly themes, new activities and more stories from LOVB Pros.

At LOVB, volleyball is about so much more than passing, setting and hitting. Whole Athlete Training (WAT), LOVB’s youth development program, kicked off its new season on November 1 with one simple belief: success isn’t only measured by the athlete you become, but by the person you become.

Each month, athletes across LOVB clubs explore a new theme through journal prompts, team activities at practice and personal stories from LOVB Pros. This season brings eight themes, plus new activities, a Coaches Journal and even more content from LOVB Pros.

November: Know Yourself
With new teams and new roles this season, athletes first need to understand what they bring before they can be great teammates. Each week, a LOVB Pro shares their own story:

• Week 1: Embracing Who We Are, with Kathryn Boden
• Week 2: Practicing My Values, with Jordyn Poulter
• Week 3: Finding Your Voice, with Beatrice Negretti
• Week 4: It’s Cool to Care, with Allison Jacobs and Nia Reed
