Courtside Chat: Stephen Boyer and Karch Kiraly Discuss Volleyball, Training, and Passion
Stephen Boyer: Hey Karch, it’s a real pleasure to sit down with you today. As someone who’s left an indelible mark on the volleyball world, your insights are always invaluable. How’s everything on your end?
Karch Kiraly: It’s great to be here, Stephen! Things are fantastic, thank you. Coaching the national team keeps me busy, but it’s incredibly rewarding. How about you—how’s the pro circuit treating you?
Stephen Boyer: It’s been an incredible journey so far. Playing in the French League and then moving to the Italian League has been a whirlwind experience. The level of competition is insane, and it keeps me on my toes every single game.
Karch Kiraly: That’s awesome to hear. Playing in different leagues definitely gives you a global perspective on the sport. What’s been the biggest adjustment for you?
Stephen Boyer: Honestly, it’s the pace and the varying styles of play. The French League is technical and strategic, while the Italian League is fast and physically demanding. Adapting to different styles has helped me grow as an all-around player.
Karch Kiraly: Adaptability is key in volleyball. Speaking of which, I’ve noticed your powerful serves are making waves. What’s your secret behind that consistent power and accuracy?
Stephen Boyer: Haha, well, a lot of it comes down to practice and more practice. I break down my serve in training—focus on the toss, the arm swing, and the follow-through. Visualization techniques also help. Imagining the ball hitting specific spots on the court can really sharpen your aim.
Karch Kiraly: That’s a solid approach. Visualization and focus can truly elevate a player’s game. What’s your pre-game routine like? Any rituals that help you get in the zone?
Stephen Boyer: Oh, absolutely. Music is a big part of my routine; it helps me get pumped up and stay focused. I also spend time visualizing plays and going through key strategies mentally. Keeps the nerves at bay!
Karch Kiraly: Music is also my go-to for getting in the zone. So, what advice would you give to younger players aspiring to reach professional levels?
Stephen Boyer: I’d say, stay passionate and be relentless in your pursuit. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Always be open to learning—whether it’s from a coach, a teammate, or even a rival. Each experience, good or bad, shapes you into a better player.
Karch Kiraly: That is some sound advice! Constant learning and passion are the bedrocks of any great career. It was great catching up with you, Stephen. Keep killing it on the court!
Stephen Boyer: Thanks, Karch! It’s been a pleasure. Let’s keep inspiring the next generation of volleyball champions!
