Optimizing Strength for Beach Volleyball

Sport specific training off the court is always a hot and contentious topic. Some people say its general strength, flexibility, relative strength, and a plethora of things. I recently had the privilege to interview Wade Bass with Volley Power Performance. Wade is a movement specialist and also an expert in training volleyball athletes to hit peak performance.

The main talking points of our conversation:

• Lifestyle factors that contribute to poor movements

• Creating mobility versus stiffness in the spine for the task at hand

• Strength through range of motion

• Indicators of a 40 inch vertical

• How to get to the ATG squat

• Strength versus power

• Being efficient at force development

• Tall versus shorter athletes training

• Elasticity development training

• Creating long term tissue changes
