## Resource

Our pre-season interview is NEW HEAD COACH of the San Diego Mojo, Alisha Childress! We are so excited to have Alisha on the pod (some of us even more excited than others, you can guess who that is) before her legendary first MLV coaching season begins. Our first coach interview, our first Olympian interview - and the first player-turned-coach of MLV! We start by hearing about Alisha’s time on Athletes Unlimited, as both a player and a coach. We learn more about her favorite players and coaches that she’s learned from over her career who have helped her create her style and values in coaching. We talk about MLV’s place in the greater landscape of pro volleyball globally, the two libero system, and Alisha tells us all her players that she’s excited about this season (don’t worry, it’s all of them). As a note, this interview was conducted before this year’s draft - so you won’t hear any tea about who’s signing and who’s not for 2026! Season 3 of MLV starts January 9 - keep an eye out for our season preview episode coming out before then!
