Iowa State Head Coach & Former NCAA Championship Setter

Session Overview

Iowa State Head Coach Christy Johnson-Lynch demonstrates her core setter training drills, emphasizing getting the hands up high and early while moving the feet rapidly to the ball. She walks through partner and coach-tossed progressions that reinforce posture, hand shape, and location consistency.

Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles

Bring the hands up to the setting position early during the approach rather than waiting until the last second before contact.
Move the feet quickly to get directly underneath the ball so every set originates from the same forehead contact point.
Finish with full arm and wrist extension toward the target while holding a balanced, upright lower-body base.

Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:

"Hands up early""Feet to the ball""Extend and freeze"

Why Recommended for Coaches:

Proven collegiate setter drills from a former national championship setter that build high-hand discipline and footwork speed.
