Patrick is a busy coach. At only 28 years old, he is the Head coach of the Fanshawe College Men’s volleyball team, he is also the Technical Director of the London Volleyball Club, one of the fastest growing club in Ontario. This past summer, he was also involved the Team Ontario and the Youth National Team programs.

Patrick is passionate, energetic  and very knowledgable given his relatively short coaching career. That definitely has something to do with the fact that he knows how to surround himself with the right people. As he likes to say it, “shut up and be a sponge”. That is his motto and that’s why he is always learning about coaching.

In this episode, he shares with us the things he has learned coaching over the past few years. We dig into the challenges of coaching club volleyball in Canada and Patrick talks about the pathway to high performance he has help build within his club. On top of that, he tells us about the way he tracks the progression of his college players. What he does is something I think everyone should do. You guys will want to take notes, I guarantee it.

Patrick is a fun guy and an awesome coach to be around. I hope you enjoy this next half hour in his company. So without further ado, here’s Patrick Johnston.
