Bump Set Chat Podcast

@TeamCanada libero Kacey Jost joins Bump Set Chat to share her incredible volleyball journey!

From having her brother convincing her to be a hockey goalie in the driveway, to dance, discovering volleyball, playing at @ubcwvb , making the jump to professional volleyball, and ultimately earning her place with Team Canada — Kacey has an amazing story to tell.

We talk about her transition from opposite to libero, her @USPORTSca career, whether she considered playing NCAA volleyball in the U.S., her path to canwvnt , working with Gio, @volleyballworld VNL and the incredible moment Canada secured its spot at @LA28 ! 🇨🇦🇺🇸

What does it mean to help bring Canadian women's volleyball back to the Olympics? And now that Canada has qualified, what does the road to LA look like?

We also get into the people who have influenced her, (mom did a heck of a job) her mental reset routines, life away from the court, @lovbmad and plenty more.

Sometimes the moments that tell you the most about a coach happen off the volleyball court. ❤️🏐

Kacey Jost shares a story about @TeamCanada head coach GiovanniGguidetti that really shows his compassion and how much he cares about people — not just the athletes on his team.

It's easy to see a coach for what they do in the gym, but moments like this give you a glimpse into the person behind the coach.

Kacey's story is a great reminder that leadership and coaching can go far beyond volleyball.

Behind every athlete is usually someone who helped them get there. ❤️🏐

For Kacey Jost, that person is her mom.

In this clip, Kacey talks about the influence her mom has had throughout her volleyball journey — from supporting her and her brother Ty as a young athletes to helping her navigate all the ups and downs that come with chasing a dream.

It's always great hearing about the people behind the players we see on the court. Kacey's story is a great reminder that a volleyball journey is rarely a solo journey.

What does it mean to bring Canada women's volleyball back to the @Olympics ?

Kacey Jost shares what it means to be part of the @TeamCanada group that has secured an Olympic spot for @LA28 — bringing Canadian women's volleyball back to the Olympic stage for the first time since 1996.

After years of hard work, sacrifices, and competing for the opportunity to represent Canada, this team has made history.

Hearing Kacey talk about what this moment means to her, her teammates, and the future of Canadian volleyball makes this such a special conversation.
