## Resource

A new chapter is taking shape in Los Angeles. This week on Set 6, Sevrin catches up with newly named LA head coach Alisha Childress for a wide-ranging conversation on building culture, leading with purpose, and what it takes to create a winning environment from day one. From her experiences as an Olympian and champion to her approach as a coach, Childress shares the philosophy that's guided her journey and the vision she's bringing to MLV's newest franchise. Before the interview, we break down a busy week around the volleyball world — including VNL performances from MLV athletes, the Grand Rapids Rise's incredible community impact, and the latest wave of free agency signings across the league. Plus, Sevrin wraps things up with a few off-the-court rabbit holes, from championship season in the sports world to unexpected internet obsessions. Culture. Competition. Community. Episode 8 is here.
