Our coaching book is out! Written with John Mayer, this book is based on our coaching podcast and what we've learned from our career as players and coaches. It's a quick intro to a variety of topics filled with conversations with guests and our own personal stories. We hope you'll enjoy it!

Such a great resource for coaches! It’s volleyball-centric, but I recommend it for coaches of all sports. There are great lessons for educators of all sorts...including parents. Plus, it’s written in an easy to digest and entertaining style. Go read it!

Great coaching book that combines some info that could be found elsewhere plus John Mayer and Billy Allen's own twists on topics ranging from mindset to planning practice to giving feedback. Definitely heavily related to the coach your brains out podcast in content but well-written and much easier to digest quickly than it would be to go back and listen to all their (also valuable) podcast episodes.

Highly recommend to any volleyball coach and really any coach working in the middle school - college age range.
