Listen now
Description
For 23 years, one of the most talented and respected Women’s Volleyball coaches was Nebraska’s Terry Pettit. He was there at the very beginning of women’s collegiate sports, and in many ways helped shape what NCAA volleyball is today. Janice talks to Terry about what it was like coaching an entire team back in the early days when resources were so scarce the team only had a single ball to practice with. It was a rough start, but one that changed countless lives for the better. Links mentioned: For more information go to www.side-out.org.
