In this session, legendary coach John Dunning and former USA National Team player Cassidy Lichtman explore one of volleyball's most important and least understood skills: reading. Why do great players always seem to be in the right place? How can athletes learn to recognize cues, anticipate what happens next, and make faster decisions? Through demonstrations and practical training ideas, you'll learn how to build reading into every skill—from passing and defense to setting, attacking, and blocking.
