Transition Strength In Action

Or: How to beat Jordan Larson

Many of you know that I’ve been involved in the Athletes Unlimited pro volleyball league. I had the opportunity to coach in the first season and now we’re gearing up for the second; with the first draft just a few days away!

The first season was a blast to be a part of, and to watch probably the greatest American women’s volleyball player, Jordan Larson, put on a clinic every week. 3 out of 5 weeks she was drafting from the Gold spot, which is the most challenging for the captains, but she always put together a good squad. Add her presence to some other talented players, and you had a team that was always really tough to beat.

Each week, when working with my captain, we always had on our mind, “okay, who do we need to get if we want to be able to beat Jordan’s team this week?”

I put my Match Analysis threads behind the paywall. Consider going premium if you want to know the formula for beating Jordan Larson every time how I got lucky that particular week.
