What workshop attendees are saying:

“Absolutely love these learning opportunities. I appreciate John’s methodology of starting from questions. That leadership is really freeing me up to trust my own coaching mindset and gather more information from my staff and team. I can’t say enough good about these, and I hope you offer more!”

“I left very excited to get to work on my upcoming season!”

“Both speakers were great. I could listen to Dunning talk about volleyball all day!”

“I especially liked having people who had lots of experience at both the higher and the lower level of talent where at the highest level you had talent that you were able to recruit and at the lowest level you had to work with whoever walked in the door at the beginning of the season.”

“Loved the option to submit homework and receive council/feedback on it.”

Five-time NCAA national champion coach John Dunning is one of the most successful and respected coaches in volleyball history. An AVCA Hall of Fame inductee, John coached for 42 years—10 at the high school/club level and then for 32 seasons at University of the Pacific and Stanford. During his 16-year tenure at Stanford, Dunning led the team to three national championships and boasts five national titles overall—second-most in NCAA Division I history. As a collegiate coach, he compiled an 888-185 record for an .828 winning percentage and never once missed the postseason. Prior to his collegiate career, Dunning made a name for himself as one of the country’s top prep and junior club coaches as the founder of the Bay Club and head coach of Fremont High School.

Tod Mattox has been coaching volleyball in San Diego since 1982, working extensively with high school and club girls’ programs. In addition, he has coached boys’ high school, AVP women and a bit of men’s college. Tod recently retired from his “real job” teaching English at The Bishop’s School and recently completed his 25th year heading the girls’ varsity team. Until 2019, Tod was the owner, director and head coach of a small local volleyball club that served inexperienced 12- and 14-unders. After selling the club, he began his current work in coaches’ education with The Art of Coaching Volleyball and Coast Volleyball Club. Tod is a current board member and long-time supporter of Starlings Volleyball, US, a non-profit that serves at-risk girls.
