The libero role is all about defense … but that doesn’t mean just digging and passing. Liberos must also scramble for balls no one else can reach, assess opponent tendencies and capitalize on that knowledge, and communicate aggressively while on the move. Essentially, the libero is the “captain of the back court.”
