In this episode, I sit down with former Canadian National Team setter and Olympian Brett Walsh (@Brettjwalsh) to break down the key skills that separate good setters from great ones.

We dive into setter footwork, hand positioning, jump setting, and the importance of transferring energy efficiently through the body. Brett also shares his thoughts on developing decision-making, reading the game, creating offensive advantages, and helping setters become more than just ball distributors.

Topics in this episode include: 

  • One-foot vs. two-foot setter footwork
  • Hand positioning and ball contact
  • Jump setting mechanics
  • Setter decision-making 
  • Training the setter position 
  • Vision and reading the game
  • How setters can dictate the flow of a match rather than simply set the ball
