  <title>Authentic Leadership at an Elite Level | Alyssa D’Errico, Head Volleyball Coach - University of Utah</title>
  <description>In this episode of the&amp;amp;nbsp;Max Out Mindset Podcast, Coach Jess sits down with&amp;amp;nbsp;Alyssa D’Errico, head coach of&amp;amp;nbsp;Utah Volleyball, for a powerful conversation on leadership, mindset, and what it truly means to&amp;amp;nbsp;max out. Alyssa shares her journey from championship athlete to head coach and unpacks how elite performers sustain success without losing themselves in the process. The conversation dives into why&amp;amp;nbsp;behaviors—not results—must drive performance, how authenticity allows athletes to stay present under pressure, and why connection is the foundation of championship culture. &amp;amp;nbsp;You’ll hear real stories about managing competitiveness, learning emotional control, training response after failure, and helping athletes move from frustration to freedom. Alyssa also explains how elite programs “out-team” opponents by aligning coaches, athletes, and support staff around shared standards and trust. &amp;amp;nbsp;This episode is packed with practical insight for athletes, coaches, and leaders who want to: · &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Stay consistent when results fluctuate · &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Train focus, readiness, and response under pressure · &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Use failure as feedback instead of fear · &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Build confidence without comparison · &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Lead with clarity, connection, and purpose &amp;amp;nbsp;Whether you’re a high school athlete, college competitor, or coach building culture, this conversation offers a clear reminder:&amp;amp;nbsp;who you are and how you show up every day matters!
