Tama Miyashiro • USA Volleyball

Olympic Silver Medalist Libero & Former Team USA Assistant Coach

Session Overview

Former U.S. Women's National Team Assistant Coach and Olympic libero Tama Miyashiro uses game film to teach the visual progression of elite serve receivers. She breaks down server cues, early left/right decisions, trajectory reading, and teammate depth communication.

Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles

Train passers to lock eyes on the server's toss and hand contact point to read direction and velocity immediately.
Commit to an early left-or-right platform decision so the body isn't caught indecisive on balls aimed at the midline.
Combine individual eye-work tracking with verbal depth communication from adjacent passers to handle tough float trajectories.

Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:

"See the server's contact""Pick a side early""Talk depth early"

Why Recommended for Coaches:

Essential film study for coaches on how to train passers' visual focus and early reading habits before the ball crosses the net.
