Jordan Larson • Olympic Games
Team USA Olympic Gold Medalist & Captain
Session Overview
Olympic Gold Medalist and Team USA captain Jordan Larson teaches the 4-step attacking approach, timing coordination with the setter, and the 'You Go, I Throw' partner timing drill. She also highlights common attacking mistakes like overrunning the set.
Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles
- Make the last two steps of your 4-step approach explosive and dynamic to adjust to set location.
- Engage the entire kinetic chain—legs, hips, core, and shoulders—rather than swinging with only the arm.
- Use the 'You Go, I Throw' drill to train hitters to keep the ball in front of their hitting shoulder.

"Dynamic last two steps""Engage the whole body""Keep the ball in front"
Why Recommended for Coaches:
