Listen "34. Why Grittiness, Passion & Competitiveness Are Key Ingredients For The WSU Volleyball Team with Jen Greeny"
Episode Synopsis
Grit, passion, hard work, and competitiveness are the key ingredients needed to win. But behind all that is compassion, guidance, a good attitude, and effort. Together, these elements make up the WSU women’s volleyball team –and we’re here for it! Today, I am talking to the incredible Jen Greeny, a previous collegiate athlete who’s now going on 12+ years as the WSU Volleyball Head Coach. She’s a firm believer in bettering the lives of the student-athletes and, of course, winning! Did we mention she has tons of awards and accolades behind her name, too? And we’re talking all about it! In our conversation, Jen shares her unique experience as a student-athlete in the 90s, her perspective on being a player versus being a coach, why she takes such a holistic approach to a student’s journey through WSU, the importance of grit, passion, and competitiveness (and why WSU has got it!), how to support WSU sports during this time, and so much more! Jen is living proof of how special WSU is and what it looks like to lead from a place of heart –and you don’t want to miss this episode! Leave a 5 star review on iTunes or Spotify!
