Summary

This week’s conversation is with Dr. Marv Dunphy, widely recognized as one of the premier coaches in the history of the sport of volleyball.

He directed Pepperdine to four NCAA men’s volleyball titles and concluded his 34th and final season as the Waves’ head coach in 2017. He remains involved with the program as its head coach emeritus.

Marv also had a long, successful coaching tenure with the U.S. National Team.

The American squad maintained a No. 1 world ranking during his time as coach in the 1980s and the team won every major international tournament: the 1985 World Cup, the 1986 World Championships, the 1987 Pan American Games and, most importantly, the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea.

Since then, he has been an assistant coach for the men’s team at the 2000 Olympics and a consultant coach at the 1996, 2004 and 2008 Olympics.

In 2012, Marv served as a consultant coach in London for the silver-medal winning women’s squad and most recently, in 2016, he was a scouting coach for the women’s team, helping the team to a bronze-medal finish.

We had the pleasure of rooming together during those 2016 Olympic games in Rio and I’m hoping this conversation gives you the opportunity to get to know Marv the way I got to know him then.

In this conversation, we discuss what great leadership looks like and what separates the outliers from the rest of the pack.

0:00.0	finding mastery. My first thought is easier to see it than it is to develop it. One of the things
0:08.1	that we've talked about a little bit is, you know, how much do people change? And it's not much.
0:15.6	So then we go back to, you know, how they view the world. And I'm not a development person,

0:55.0	weekly basis, I get to sit down with extraordinary people to understand their psychology, to
1:00.4	understand how they organize their inner life, to better understand how they use their mind
1:05.1	to excel in life, and also to double click underneath to figure out, like, how do they train
1:10.1	their mind to become their very best? And if you want to learn more about training your mind,
