    2021/11/23

    Former club national champion, Loyola Chicago standout, and now professional libero Avery Aylsworth joins the show all the way from Germany!  Rob and Avery get into everything about making the jump overseas into professional volleyball that's specific to the libero position, including how to get recruited, how to get your foot in the door and win court time as a foreigner, and what defines success at the libero position at the highest levels.  Avery is in his second year with VFB Friedrichshafen in the German Bundesliga, one of the most storied clubs in all of Europe.  If you or anyone you know plays libero and has aspirations to play pro, this is a MUST listen!  Avery also talks about his VLA experience with the Chicago Icemen and gets into what his future plans are.
