While many of League One Volleyball’s coaches and athletes are familiar with one another already, LOVB Salt Lake takes that to another level. Head coach Tama Miyashiro as coached at least eight LOVB Salt Lake athletes through her other role as U.S. National Team assistant, including middle blocker Serena Gray. Sererena and Tama both caught up with host Tiffany Oshinsky to chat about how that established relationship could impact the season, how each is preparing for the inaugural campaign and more. From grass volleyball to role models, you’ll be much better prepared for the upcoming LOVB Salt Lake season after this conversation. Topics include: 

• Top-seeded Pitt vs. Stanford October 20
