Since I have been working out a lot, people are asking me: "John, how do you workout for the AVP?" Well, take a look...
So that's just a sample of the exercises we do at the gym, and it seems to be paying off. This past weekend my friend Ivan Mercer and I won the IDQ tournament in Long Beach, CA. The tournament was put on by USA Volleyball and qualified us to play in a NORCECA event in the near future. We were excited because after getting blown out the first game against Duncan Budinger (brother of recently drafted, former fellow Wildcat, and new Houston Rocket Chase Budinger) and Dane Jenson, we pulled it together and won the next two games for the "W". For some reason, that beach has been good to me: Eyal Zimet and I won two of the AVP Developmental events year and then this one. I look forward to another Long Beach event :-)
So now it is on to Brooklyn for my first AVP event in over a month. Stay tuned for my predictions which are coming tomorrow. Until then, have a great day and make sure you use sunscreen!

Congrats re Long Beach!
Here's an un-asked for opinion ;>)...make as many of your off the court training movements exactly mimic your on the court movements.
ie: re your plyo jump-ups - if you are going to use your arms at all during the drill - move and swing your arms exactly like you would when you block jump and or attack jump.
The theory is that everything creates a habit so be conscious of the habits you are creating.
Thanks for posting the videos and best of luck in Brooklyn!
