What an incredible achievement by our friends at Big Ten Network, Big Ten Conference, and of course, the participating schools and athletes!! Packing 92K fans into the iconic Memorial Stadium 🌽 🏈 ...for a volleyball match 🏐 ...that broke the attendance record for women's sports 🥇 ...in front of an international TV audience 🌎 ...is a milestone to celebrate 🥳 What is the #B1G doing right to accomplish such a feat? I think a major contributing factor is #directtoconsumer (#D2C) streaming access to 1,700 non-televised games and events on Big Ten Plus. Consider the scale of the audience: ✅ 10K student-athletes ✅ 500K active students ✅ 5.5M living alumni ✅ Countless friends and family members As we've seen from the conference realignment drama over the summer, football will have an outsized role in national broadcast rights for the foreseeable future. But the pride fans must feel to watch their classmates, siblings, children, etc. play (or broadcast!) the games they love speaks to the power of #OTT.

These are the types of trending events 📈that will trigger our dynamic pricing adjustments on athletes’ PeakNIL profiles. While athletes are busy keeping their head in the game; we activate dynamic pricing so they can capitalize while their NIL is 🔥.

This is just positively insane!! I keep saying that sports in itself has no limit , it’s the people who manage it that limit the potentials . This is a volleyball game and it just broke the record for the largest crowd in women’s sports ever. Ghana and AFRICA had got some of the world’s best volleyball talents and yet the game is hardly talked about. That is why Sports Leadership Academy (SLAC) is determined to Redefine Sports & Recreation in Africa by becoming the first sports organisation to run multi-sports programs that is able to create and foster economic empowerment, human development and community building with the aim to regenerate and not just sustain. #africa #sportsmanagement #multiports #volleyball I

In recent years, college volleyball has experienced a remarkable surge in growth, marked by both traditional indoor volleyball and the rapidly expanding college beach volleyball scene. This growth is evident not only in participation rates but also in the level of attention and excitement these sports are generating. A pivotal moment in the growth trajectory of college volleyball was the recent world record-setting event in Nebraska, 92,0003 fans were in attendance, coupled with the unprecedented rise of college beach volleyball, which together showcase the sport's increasing popularity and significance. In parallel with the success of indoor volleyball, college beach volleyball has emerged as a powerhouse on its own. Since the NCAA officially recognized beach volleyball as an emerging sport in 2011, it has witnessed rapid expansion. The sport's unique blend of athleticism, strategy, and outdoor competition has resonated with athletes and fans alike. Colleges and universities across the United States have been quick to embrace beach volleyball, leading to the establishment of dedicated programs and the construction of purpose-built beach volleyball facilities on campuses. According to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), the number of NCAA Division I beach volleyball programs has grown significantly over the past decade, reflecting the escalating interest and investment in the sport. The AVCA's annual beach volleyball coaches' poll consistently garners attention from media and fans, highlighting the increased visibility and prominence of the sport at the collegiate level.

The world record-setting event in Nebraska and the rapid expansion of college beach volleyball programs underscore the evolution of these sports beyond their traditional boundaries, captivating audiences and creating new avenues for athletic excellence on campuses across the nation. As these sports continue to flourish, they reinforce the idea that college volleyball, in all its forms, is well on its way to becoming a powerhouse in the realm of collegiate athletics.

Sports🏐 Volleyball is a team sport where two teams of six players each try to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court. It involves skills like serving, passing, setting, attacking, and blocking. Volleyball has different variations, including sitting volleyball, which is designed for athletes with disabilities, particularly those with lower limb impairments. Additionally, there are variations like "footvolley," a mix of soccer and volleyball played on a beach with a volleyball net and soccer rules, except using hands only. The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) is the international governing body for the sport, overseeing various competitions like the FIVB Volleyball World Championships and the Olympic volleyball tournaments. Volleyball has a rich history, and its popularity continues to grow globally. Certainly! Volleyball is typically played indoors, but there's also beach volleyball, which is a popular variant played on sand. The game involves a rotation system, where players move positions after winning a rally. Scoring is based on rallies, and the first team to reach a certain point total (usually 25 or 21 points) wins a set. Volleyball is known for its fast-paced and dynamic nature, requiring teamwork and quick decision-making. It's played at various levels, from recreational leagues to professional competitions. [12/11, 12:37 PM] ༒അഭിനയ༒🤍: Certainly! Volleyball has some unique positions, each with distinct roles. The positions include: 1. Outside Hitter (Left Side Hitter): Usually the primary attacker, positioned on the left side of the net. 2. Opposite Hitter (Right Side Hitter):Positioned on the right side, often responsible for blocking and attacking from the right. 3. Middle Blocker: Plays at the net's center and is key in both blocking opponents' attacks and quick offensive plays. 4. Setter:The playmaker who sets the ball for attackers. They touch the ball most often, coordinating the team's offense. 5. Libero: A defensive specialist wearing a different color jersey, allowed to substitute freely for back-row players and cannot attack the ball above the net. 6. Defensive Specialist:Similar to a libero but without as many restrictions, often specialized in defensive skills. The synergy among these positions is crucial for a team's success. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Never underestimate the importance of showing up to show support. Never underestimate women. Never underestimate Nebraska. https://lnkd.in/gf5pd4JY

This is ELITE marketing. How do I show you that you can play the game with a cheap stick and a tennis ball? Street LAX. Brilliant. Baseball struggles at times to gain an inner-city rep, and needs gloves, bats, balls, and space. Have a basketball court and some tape and you can play Street LAX. Ultimately it's moves like this that make it more and more obvious PLL is going to succeed. How can I help market this event? This is *chefs kiss*

Here are seven highlighted sentences from the article, i posted here before, as "Comparison of Knee Joint Proprioception and Balance between Soccer and Volleyball Players and Non-athletes":⚽️🏐 ●The aim of this study was to compare the knee joint proprioception between soccer and volleyball players and non-athletic men. ●Ninety healthy male individuals were divided into three groups; including soccer players, volleyball players, and non-athletes (n=30 for each group). ●Active (AAR) and passive (PAR) angle reproduction error at an angular velocity of 60˚/s with a target angle of 45˚ were measured using a Biodex dynamometer. ●The volleyball players had less AAR than the soccer players and non-athletic subjects significantly (P<0.05). However, there were no statistical differences in PAR between the three groups (P>0.05). ●The volleyball players had better balance comparing to soccer players and non-athletes significantly (P<0.05). ●This study indicates that better knee joint proprioception and balance in volleyball players is attributed to repeated jumping motions in this sport.

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.[1] It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964. Beach volleyball was introduced to the programme at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics. The adapted version of volleyball at the Summer Paralympic Games is sitting volleyball. The complete set of rules is extensive,[2] but play essentially proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court.[3] The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to three times to return the ball to the other side of the court, but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively.[3] Typically, the first two touches are used to set up for an attack. An attack is an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the team receiving the ball is unable to pass the ball and continue the rally, thus, losing the point. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of the most common faults include: causing the ball to touch the ground or floor outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net; catching and throwing the ball; double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player; four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team; net foul: touching the net during play; foot fault: the foot crosses over the boundary line when serving or under the net when a front row player is trying to keep the ball in play. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
