hi, i’m alyxandra 😊 with many new faces here, it felt like the right time to reintroduce myself!

it’s been a year since i started this community because i believe sports change the trajectory of our lives — and the info that helps athletes grow on and off the court should be accessible to all. every episode, resource, and breakdown exists to give players, parents, coaches and more the insights i wish i had growing up, especially on topics we don’t talk about enough! I have a toddler at home, and wanted to find a way to stay connected and give back to the sport that gave me everything.

that mission isn’t changing, it’s growing! more conversations, more free resources, and more ways to support athletes and coaches at every level — that’s the vision for year two and beyond!

here’s how you can be part of it:
→ have a question about tryouts, recruiting, team dynamics, playing time — anything? send it my way for unbiased feedback
→ want a topic covered on the podcast? let me know as this community shapes what we talk about

i work directly with clubs and athletes too:
→ private lessons in metro detroit & livingston county mi
→ tryout support + coaching & practice coverage

dm or email [email protected] for any of it — questions, topics, or working together! visit sheacedthat.com for future free resources! whether you’ve been here since episode 1 or you just found this page — i’m so glad you’re here and can’t be more grateful for your support!

I am SO thankful to all of the guests that took the time to share their knowledge to support this mission, I can’t thank you all enough for being a part of this!

film yourself! most athletes have no idea what their technique actually looks like. what you feel you’re doing and what you’re actually doing are usually two different things.

→ set your phone up and record yourself passing, serving, setting, swinging
→ watch it back — seeing it connects mind and body faster than any verbal cue
→ pick ONE thing to work on before next season (one. be patient with it)

pro tip: check your bench presence on film too!

this is exactly what college and pro athletes do. it’s free, and it works at every level. 🤍

Gearing up for club tryouts? Here’s some tips!

Coaches care about:
→ how you recover after a mistake (the 3 seconds after matter more than the error)
→ your work ethic when you think nobody’s watching
→ being versatile

it’s not just about your hardest swing. it’s not just about being the tallest in the gym. being a good teammate and having a good attitude is critical! trust the process and make the best decisions for you!

Any reps before tryouts to trigger your muscle memory is so worth it! Finding a few tools and tricks to remind your mind and body what to do during tryouts is key!

One example you’ll see is I had Maddy touch the floor prior to her passing. This tiny change during practice changed the trajectory of her platform! Find one small thing that works for you before entering tryouts this week!

Love when athletes want to put in the hard work before tryouts! Showing up when others aren’t is the first step! 💪

Maddy conquered 2 days in a row of lessons with more to come! I so look forward to seeing what she accomplishes this upcoming club season!

tryout nerves? read this before you walk in the gym this week!

you don’t need a 10-step breathing routine in the middle of a drill. you need quick resets that work in real time. here’s what actually helps:
→ rename the feeling. nerves and excitement feel identical in your body — racing heart, butterflies, all of it. stop saying “i’m so nervous” and start saying “i’m ready.” your brain believes what you tell it.
→ one breath, not five. before you serve or step in to pass, one slow exhale. that’s it. a long exhale is a calm signal straight to your nervous system.
→ pick a reset word. one word after any mistake: “next.” “here.” “sideout.” shank a pass? say your word, move on. coaches are watching how you respond to errors way more than the errors themselves.
→ shrink the tryout. you can’t control whether you make the team. you CAN control the very next rep. stop playing the whole tryout in your head — play one ball at a time.
→ body language first. shoulders back, eyes up, hustle between drills. confident posture actually calms your brain, and it’s one of the first things coaches notice. act like you belong and your nerves start to believe it.
→ remember why you’re here. you signed up because you love this game. nerves just mean you care. let them prove it.

save this for tryout day. send it to a teammate who needs it!

Reminder for tryouts this week: if your skills are failing you, your attitude can save you!

What’s makes elite athletes, elite? That’s mentality.

Sarah Bob Marie-Schmitt Lindstrom (co-founder of L2 Volleyball ) on what separates the players who make it to the next level from equally talented ones who don’t

the physical tools are one thing, but it’s the mental side that gets you there

she tells the story of Harper sitting on the bench, watching another player and asking “how do you think she gets her arm speed so fast?” then going to find the drills to build it herself. she wanted it but she didn’t want it handed to her

today’s athletes are growing up in a world of tiktok and instant everything and really, it’s not their fault. you have to help guide them through it with your own experiences

the kids who want something AND want to work for it, those are the ones who are ready for college and beyond
