Me 1st Then Sports™ for Volleyball
The player
behind the point.
Before the next serve.
Before the next correction.
Check in.
Volleyball is one of the first individual sports Me 1st Then Sports™ is pursuing as we bring Human Infrastructure™ deeper into specific sports communities.
People > Performance.
The experience can support the whole environment around the court.
Athletes
Room to check in with themselves between points, seasons and expectations.
Coaches
Support for the people who are usually checking on everyone else.
Parents
Practical ways to check in before correcting after the match.
Clubs / Programs
A stronger human environment around the roster.
The human environment
The scoreboard doesn’t show
what she’s carrying.
Pressure inside a volleyball community can show up in many places. Not every athlete experiences these, and none of this is a diagnosis.
- playing time
- position
- team dynamics
- confidence
- recruiting
- college expectations
- parent expectations
- coach relationships
- injury
- body image
- school
- travel
- performance

The CAREGD™ model

Create meaningful opportunities to check in.
Understand™
Where appropriate, understand aggregate human signals.

Help clubs, coaches, parents and leaders strengthen the human environment around the athlete.
- Pressure
- Connection
