Significantly increase the odds of an awesome relationship dynamic by clarifying the vision and ground rules for the athlete / parent-guardian-supporter.OVERVIEWCoach Wade introduces a third vision exercise that has athletes and their parent/guardian/supporter collaborate by talking (and optionally writing or recording) about who they want to be for each other in the sports journey.He emphasizes this is not a list of demands, but a permission-based conversation about hopes, communication preferences, boundaries, and what support should look like in specific situations (such as after losses or during matches). The relationship vision should evolve over time, with regular check-ins to adjust as the athlete’s needs change and to avoid condescension or “pulling rank.” The goal is to build trust so both parties feel heard and can face challenges together—seeing the challenge as the problem rather than each other—while enjoying and celebrating the athlete’s journey and the supporter’s contribution.KEY MOMENTS00:00 Vision Work Setup00:47 Defining the Relationship02:06 Hopes Not Demands02:17 Evolving Support and Accountability03:10 Permission and Communication04:19 Practical Boundaries and Examples05:08 Ongoing Check Ins06:06 Same Side Against Challenges06:44 Wrap Up and Next StepsLINKSWebsite & Club InformationInstagramFacebookTikTokYouTube
Intentionally decide what type of experience you want to give your athlete (and who you want to be in relation to them) on their journey.OVERVIEWCoach Wade addresses parents, guardians, and supporters, urging them to clarify how they want to show up for their athlete after the athlete completes vision work.He invites supporters to define a personal “north star” for their role—who they want to be during the athlete’s successes, struggles, and moments of anger or lashing out—so their reactions aren’t dictated by the athlete’s behavior.He recommends writing answers by hand in a notebook and, if applicable, integrating spiritual or religious practices like prayer or meditation. He emphasizes there is no single right approach (hands-on or hands-off depends on age and stage), He encourages listening without escalating conflict, and suggests using the written vision as an anchor to return to during difficult moments as part of an ongoing growth process.KEY MOMENTS00:00 Supporting Your Athlete00:43 Choose Who You’ll Be02:12 North Star Vision Work02:46 Write It Down03:29 When Things Go Well05:29 When They Struggle06:25 When They Lash Out08:19 Anchor for the Storm09:19 Wrap Up and Next StepsLINKSWebsite & Club InformationInstagramFacebookTikTokYouTube
Intentionally envision & create the experiences you most wish to have on your beach volleyball journey.OVERVIEWCoach Wade explains that having a clear vision makes a great volleyball season more likely, drawing on ideas like Stephen Covey’s “begin with the end in mind” and Tony Robbins’ focus on outcomes. Aimed primarily at youth athletes (but applicable to others), he suggests using a composition notebook to write a future-looking reflection: imagining the season is over and asking what would need to have happened to feel happy with progress. Coach Wade encourages setting ambitious, specific goals without becoming rigid if results differ, and expanding beliefs about what’s possible. The vision should include three parts: how you want to feel and experience the sport, what it looks like to have fun and stay engaged in competition beyond just winning, and what work habits and research you will do that realistically lead to the desired outcomes. Coach Wade previews later videos on supporter and relationship visions.KEY MOMENTS00:00 Season Vision Setup01:02 Three-Part Vision Plan01:56 Notebook Exercise02:21 Future Progress Question04:15 Aim Higher Goals05:59 Joyful Play Mindset08:08 Work Behind Results09:29 Wrap Up Next StepsLINKSWebsite & Club InformationInstagramFacebookTikTokYouTube
