Using Positive Pedagogy in Volleyball w'Laura Costa Dos Santos

Positive pedagogy for sport coaching

In this episode, I talk with Laura Costa Dos Santos who is currently an Assistant Volleyball Coach at Ohio University. Laura graduated with a masters in coaching education from Ohio University in 2018 after previously playing volleyball at the University of Illinois and working as a coach at Oregon State University and Bowling Green State University. Laura, who is certified by the Women's Coaches Academy, speaks enthusiastically about the application of Positive Pedagogy and a game-based approach to coaching in both youth and collegiate volleyball settings. Laura recently authored a chapter for the up and coming text on Positive Pedagogy for Sport Coaching on her experiences applying Positive Pedagogy in her youth volleyball coaching, which is due out in May.
