CVC COACHING | THE ARCHITECTS OF 2032

At CVC, coaching is a high-stakes mission. We do not hire "facilitators" — we recruit Architects of Performance. You are responsible for the technical precision, psychological durability, and tactical execution of your squad. We operate on a single, non-negotiable premise: The Standard you walk past is the Standard you accept.

THE CVC MERITOCRACY: DRIVE OVER PAPER

Experience is an asset, but Character is the requirement. If you are a beginner coach with an unshakable work ethic and a "Rowing" mentality, we want you. We will shape you into a CVC-standard leader. We will provide the technical blueprint, the data tools, and the CVC methodology. You must provide the relentless drive to master them. You must have the drive to learn, the intelligence to process data, and the discipline to maintain our tempo. We don't care where you started; we care about the standard you can maintain.

METHODOLOGY: THE CVC BLUEPRINT

CVC is inspired by the Japanese style of volleyball — a methodology defined by and prioritises technical mastery, relentless floor defense, and high-IQ tactical execution. In the Japanese tradition, we believe that "Boredom is the birthplace of success". Our coaches must be obsessed with the "Boredom of Mastery," finding the micro-details in every repetition. If that sounds like you, you will thrive here. If you are a "roll the balls out and scrimmage" coach, this is not your home.

OPERATIONAL TEMPO: 5-HOURS OF EXECUTION

Our playing identity — Fast, Relentless, Precise — demands an elite operational tempo. You will lead 5 hours of mandatory weekly load, encompassing technical blocks, tactical systems, and "Cross-Training" versatility. We track every minute. We measure every contact.

THE FEEDBACK LOOP: RADICAL HONESTY

CVC utilises an "Advisor" feedback loop. You will be expected to give — and receive — brutally honest, data-driven feedback. We prioritise the "Raw Truth" over agreeable validation because it is the only way to reach CVC's Vision 2032 and become Queensland's leading force by the Brisbane Olympics.

WHAT WE REQUIRE FROM YOU

We are looking for leaders who possess:

Tactical Sovereignty: The ability to "steer the ship" with absolute confidence and precision.

Data-Driven Logic: A willingness to utilise video analysis and performance metrics to drive selection and training.

Cultural Guardianship: A commitment to protecting the CVC DNA — even when it involves making difficult roster decisions.

Continuous Evolution: A desire to be part of our 2027/28 Strategic Goal: The Japan Technical Exchange Tour.

Qualifications and Australian accreditations are not required. While we recognise Australian pathways, CVC prioritises in-house technical development. We value an 'Empty Cup' (Shoshin) over local accreditations that do not align with our Japanese-inspired methodology.

JOIN THE LEGACY

We are building a legacy for 2032. If you see coaching as a privilege that demands relentless accountability and intellectual honesty, we invite you to apply. Do not join us to fit in. Join us to be shaped into a leader of the CVC Standard.

22
CVC demands an elite operational tempo of 5 mandatory hours weekly, including technical blocks and conditioning. How do you integrate this high-performance commitment into your professional and personal life?* This field is required.
I am a high-achiever with significant external responsibilities. I prioritise training highly, but I expect mutual professional respect for my schedule and will require exceptions when work or social obligations conflict with the 5-hour mandate
I can commit to the on-court technical blocks, but I view the extra hour of mobility and recovery as "discretionary". I believe my time is better spent on tactical planning than on-site conditioning
This tempo is a fixed, non-negotiable pillar in my weekly calendar. I take ownership of my external life to ensure 100% attendance, as I recognise that "The Standard I walk past is the Standard I accept"
I prefer a fluid arrangement. I will attend as many of the 5 hours as possible, but I believe that coaching output should be measured by match-day results rather than strict training attendance
23
CVC operates on a specialised Japanese-inspired technical system. We prioritise internal development and often require coaches to "unlearn" established Australian club habits. How do you personally approach the requirement to potentially be re-trained from the ground up?* This field is required.
I am an experienced coach who believes in a collaborative approach. While I am open to CVC’s methods, I believe my past successes and "proven" toolkit should be integrated into the system rather than discarded
I am willing to learn, but I tend to audit new instructions. I will adopt CVC’s specific Japanese techniques only once I have seen them personally outperform the methods I currently use
I have spent years perfecting my coaching style and obtaining certifications. I believe my value lies in my existing expertise and I expect to be given the autonomy to coach based on my own established "badges"
I embrace the "Empty Cup" philosophy without reservation. I recognise that to lead the CVC Standard, I must first surrender my previous habits to master the CVC technical blueprint and data-driven methodology
24
CVC utilises a "Brutally Honest" advisor loop where technical and operational failures are addressed directly and without agreeable validation. How do you respond to this level of transparency?* This field is required.
I demand the "Raw Truth". I want senior staff to act as a mirror that exposes my weaknesses immediately and publicly so I can refine my craft and meet the CVC Standard
I am open to feedback, but I expect the opportunity to justify my tactical decisions. If a senior staff member critiques my energy or tactics, I will provide the context as to why I chose that path
I value feedback, but I believe it should be delivered in a "supportive" and private manner. I find public, blunt critiques to be counter-productive to my authority as a coach
I thrive in environments that focus on positive reinforcement. I find "brutally honest" or "unfiltered" feedback loops to be aggressive and damaging to my motivation
25
CVC is "built for 2032". As part of our 2027/28 Strategic Goal, we are executing a Technical Exchange Tour to Japan. What is your intended trajectory within the club?* This field is required.Strategic Trajectory (Vision 2032)
I am focused on the immediate success of the 2026 season. I believe in taking one year at a time to ensure "Fast, Relentless, Precise" execution without getting distracted by long-term tours or 2032 goals
I am looking for a stable coaching role for the current season. My commitment is limited to the immediate needs of my assigned team rather than the broader strategic goals of the club
I am looking to enhance my professional profile. I intend to contribute to CVC for 2–3 years to use this high-performance environment as a springboard toward national-level coaching opportunities
I am here to build a legacy. My goal is to fully internalise the CVC DNA now so that I am qualified to lead a squad during the 2027/28 Japanese Technical Exchange and beyond toward Vision 2032

27
CVC prioritises a Japanese-inspired methodology defined by technical mastery and relentless floor defense. When evaluating a defensive training block, what is your primary metric for success?* This field is required.
The athlete’s ability to "read and react" using their own intuition. I believe in Guided Discovery, where I allow players to find their own physical solutions to defensive problems. I judge success by the athlete's growing self-awareness and their ability to explain their own movements
The mechanical precision of micro-movements, specifically the "Negative Step" efficiency and platform angle consistency. I prioritise the exactness of the technical process over the outcome of the rally. If the form is incorrect, the rep is a failure regardless of whether the ball stayed up
The "Hustle-to-Save" ratio. I believe defense is a psychological battle of will. I judge success by the number of "impossible" balls the squad keeps alive through sheer effort and grit. In my sessions, the results on the scoreboard dictate the value of the technical effort
The acoustic energy and verbal synchronisation of the squad. I judge defensive success by how effectively the players are calling "mine" and "out," and how loud the support is from the bench. I believe high energy and clear communication are the foundations of a great defense
28
We believe "Boredom is the birthplace of success". How do you approach the high-repetition, skill-based training required by the CVC Standard?* This field is required.
I believe in Variable Practice to prevent mental fatigue. I change drills every 15–20 minutes, adding layers of complexity to keep the "Cognitive Load" high. I believe that variety is essential for long-term athlete retention and avoiding the "plateau" of repetitive training
I commit to high-repetition technical blocks focused on a single micro-detail for as long as required. I find satisfaction in the "grind" of technical automation and expect my athletes to maintain elite focus on micro-adjustments until the movement is automated and "Fast, Relentless, and Precise"
I utilise Game-Based Learning almost exclusively. I believe technical skills should only be practiced in "game-like" scenarios where decision-making is integrated. I find that isolated technical drills without a "game goal" are less effective for match-day performance
I gamify the repetitions. I use points, rewards, and "fun" variations to keep the athletes from feeling the boredom. I believe my role is to keep the energy high so the players don't realize how hard they are working or how repetitive the task is
29
CVC utilises an "Advisor" feedback loop and performance metrics to track growth. How does objective data influence your coaching "steer"?* This field is required.
Data is my primary advisor. It strips away subjective "feelings". If the metrics show a statistical failure in serve-receive (e.g., a passing average below 1.5), I will immediately overhaul my next session to address that specific data point, regardless of player sentiment or previous plans
I use metrics primarily for roster management and "Selection Tension." I believe data is the best way to rank players and create internal competition for the starting 6. My use of stats is to show players exactly where they stand in the hierarchy of the squad
I use data as a "Conversation Starter." I present the stats to the players and ask them to reflect on why they think the numbers are down. I believe that for data to be effective, the athletes must "buy-in" and agree with the statistical analysis before we change our training focus
I value the "Coach’s Eye" above clinical numbers. While I acknowledge the data, I believe my experience allows me to see the "intangibles" (like leadership and heart) that a spreadsheet cannot capture. I use my intuition to make the final call on tactical changes
30
You are the "Architect of Performance" for your squad. What is your protocol for handling a technical standard that is being "walked past" during a session?* This field is required.
I focus on the "Successes." If a player is struggling with a technical error, I ignore the failure and wait for them to do it correctly so I can provide loud, positive praise. I believe that focusing on what is going right will naturally "crowd out" the technical errors
I keep the session moving to maintain high intensity. I make a mental note of the error and address it during the water break or in a private chat after training. I believe that "stopping the ship" kills the competitive energy required for a fast-paced environment
I allow the play to continue so as not to disrupt the "flow." After the set, I ask the player, "What did you feel on that last rep?" I believe that allowing the player to self-correct through questioning is more powerful than me providing a direct, blunt correction
I utilise the "Stop-the-Whistle" protocol. I pause the entire session the moment a micro-detail fails to meet the CVC Standard. I provide "brutally honest" feedback immediately, ensuring the failure is corrected before the next rep begins, regardless of the impact on the "flow" of the session
31
CVC mandates a 30-minute weekly block dedicated to Positional Versatility, where athletes train outside their primary roles to build high-IQ, universal skill sets. How do you approach this requirement?* This field is required.
I use this block as a social break. I let the players pick a position they "find fun" for 30 minutes to reward them for the intense technical blocks of the previous hour
I believe in "Deep Specialisation". While I follow the 30-minute mandate, I use that time to let players work on their primary roles' secondary skills, as I find cross-training to be a distraction from elite positional mastery
I view this as a critical "Strategic Reserve" protocol. I prioritise developing "Universal Players" who can execute the CVC system from any seat on the boat, ensuring we remain strategically agile during match-day injuries or system failures
I find this block difficult to manage. I prefer to keep my starting line-up in their set roles for the full 120 minutes to maximise team chemistry and "rhythm."
32
CVC training is characterised by "Combat Tempo" — high-intensity repetitions, constant hurrying, and immediate transitions. How do you maintain this atmosphere without relying on 6v6 gameplay?* This field is required.
I utilise Rapid-Fire Drill Sequencing and "Pressure-Cooker" technical blocks. I keep the transition between drills under 15 seconds and use loud, high-volume cues to ensure the operational urgency never drops below match-day intensity
I find it impossible to maintain real intensity without 6v6 play. I shorten the drill blocks to move into full-court gameplay as quickly as possible, as I believe the "game" provides the only real pressure
I believe intensity should come naturally from the players. I set up the drills and then step back, allowing the team to find their own tempo without me "forcing" the urgency through cues or timing
I intentionally slow down the transitions to ensure the players have time to think and "process" the technical feedback. I believe that rushing between drills leads to mental fatigue and sloppy execution
33
CVC is an uncompromising environment where "The Standard you walk past is the Standard you accept". Based on our Japanese-inspired methodology, select the three (3) non-negotiables that will define every squad you lead* This field is required.
34
You are required to use performance metrics and video analysis to provide "Brutally Honest" match reports to your squad. What is your strategy for delivering a failing statistical report to a key player?* This field is required.
I post the stats on a noticeboard or group chat and let the players interpret them themselves. I don't believe it is the coach's job to "harass" players about their numbers
I soften the data by highlighting three things they did well first. I believe that protecting the "vibe" and the player's confidence is more important than the clinical accuracy of the report
I ask the player how they felt they performed before showing them the data. If their feeling contradicts the stats, I will adjust the report to be more "supportive" of their perspective
I present the raw data without "Agreeable Validation". I show the player their specific failure metrics (e.g., passing efficiency) and immediately assign them a corrective technical load for the next training session
35
Using our Japanese-inspired methodology, design a high-repetition technical drill that could fit into a 120-minute block. Your response must demonstrate an obsession with micro-details and measurable results* This field is required.Make sure you include the Drill Name, The Focus, The Target, and The Player ROI
36
Describe a time when you had to hold a person (athlete or staff) accountable to a high standard, even if it was uncomfortable. What happened? * This field is required.
37
CVC training is demanding, clinical, and fast-paced. How do you balance keeping sessions intense and competitive while also making sure players enjoy volleyball and avoid burnout?* This field is required.
I prioritise mental health and "vibes". If I sense the squad is fatigued or "bored," I will immediately cancel the intense drills in favour of a relaxed 6v6 scrimmage
I incorporate social games, "themed" trainings, and pizza nights to break up the 5-hour weekly load and keep the players' spirits high
I believe technical progression and mastery of the craft is the highest form of enjoyment. I eliminate "social fun" in favour of the satisfaction that comes from measurable growth
I believe winning is the only "fun" that matters. As long as the team is winning matches, the intensity of the training will not lead to burnout

In your view, what does high-intensity training look like?* This field is required.
Physical Load: High heart rates, heavy conditioning, and ensuring athletes are physically exhausted by the end of the 120-minute block
Operational Urgency: Minimal transition time between reps, high-volume technical cues, and maintaining a "Combat Tempo" that mimics the psychological stress of a match point
Mental Complexity: Using intricate drills with multiple moving parts to force athletes to "think" more than they move
Scrimmage Intensity: High-stakes 6v6 play where "winning" is the primary driver of the session's energy
50
Select the delivery method that best describes your "Advisor" style* This field is required.
I pause the drill immediately to point out the specific technical failure (e.g., "Sloppy Platform") and demand a corrective rep on the spot
I wait for a "good" rep to happen and then loudly praise that, ignoring the negative reps to maintain player confidence
I wait for the drill to end and ask the player, "How did you feel about that last touch?" because both are equally important
I pull the player aside for a 1-on-1 chat at the end of the session to avoid any public discomfort

56
Do you think repeating key drills over multiple sessions is important for player development? Why or why not?* This field is required.
57
If players find a drill repetitive and start losing interest, what would you do?* This field is required.
I promise a "fun" game or early scrimmage at the end of the session as a reward for completing the repetitive technical work
I explain the "Tactical ROI" and help them see their technical progress through the data. I maintain the drill’s core focus, insisting that mastery is a result of disciplined repetition, not entertainment
I immediately replace the drill with a new, exciting variation to keep the energy high. I believe that "bored" athletes cannot learn, so I prioritise engagement over the technical block
I stop the session and ask the athletes what they would rather do to solve that technical problem. I believe in Athlete Autonomy and giving them a say in their training design
58
You are required to complete a set warm-up sequence called 'The CVC Sequence' at the start of every session. How would you approach this requirement?* This field is required.
I follow it as institutionally mandatory without modification. I recognise that standardised protocols are the engine of team discipline and ensures every CVC athlete meets the same physical baseline
I use it as a base, but I modify or skip parts of it based on how the athletes "feel" or the specific injuries present that day. I believe my expertise allows me to judge the warm-up needs better than a set manual
I change the sequence every few weeks to provide "variety" and keep the players from becoming complacent with the movement patterns
I shorten it whenever possible to maximise on-court gameplay time. I believe that the "Standardised Sequence" is less important than getting more reps at the net
59
CVC guidelines state that higher-level teams should add variations to the sequence (e.g., tighter time limits, specific target zones) while retaining the core purpose. What is your strategy for implementing these variations?* This field is required.
I believe variations are unnecessary. I run the sequence exactly the same way for every team, regardless of their skill level, as I don't believe in changing a "working" system
I use data and "Combat Tempo" to increase complexity - adding integrated decision-making rules and specific tape-targets - without ever compromising the standardised rhythm that unites the club
I view the sequence as a "suggestion" and use the time to experiment with entirely new drill structures every week to keep the players entertained and ensure they don't get bored with the routine
I allow the players to choose their own variations. I believe that at a high level, athletes should have the autonomy to decide how they "warm up" their own technical skills
60
What benefits, if any, do you think a standardised warm-up sequence provides for players?* This field is required.
61
It’s 2032, and CVC is recognised as one of Queensland's top volleyball programs. What role did you play in making this happen?* This field is required.
62
How do you ensure every player, regardless of their role (Primary or Shadow), remains engaged and feels integral to the CVC mission?* This field is required.
63
You are coaching a team where one player’s technical skill level is significantly below the rest of the squad. What is your architectural approach?* This field is required.
I modify the drills to be easier for everyone so the struggling player doesn't feel singled out or discouraged
I spend extra one-on-one time with them during the session, even if it reduces the overall drill pace, as I believe every athlete deserves equal attention regardless of ability
I prioritise the Standard of the Squad. I integrate them into drills but do not allow their technical lag to slow down the squad's operational tempo. I provide them with the "Technical Blueprint" to close the gap outside of team hours
I ask the senior players to mentor the struggling athlete during drills so I can continue focusing on the high-performance tactical systems
64
How would you handle an athlete who resists the "Combat Tempo" or complains about repetitive drills because "this isn't how my last club trained"?* This field is required.
I listen to their concerns and incorporate some of their previous club’s drills into our session to make them feel heard and more comfortable
I re-state the CVC Standard. I explain that CVC is a specialised technical institution and that "Rowing" in unison with the Japanese Blueprint is the only path to the squad’s success
I ignore the complaint and hope that once we start winning games, the player will eventually realise the system works
I pull the athlete aside to validate their feelings, acknowledging that our intensity can be "too much" and offering to lower the pressure for them personally
65
Two players are in an ongoing conflict that is eroding the squad's training tempo. What is your resolution protocol?* This field is required.
I facilitate a long-form mediation session in the equipment room, allowing both players to fully express their emotions until they feel "seen" and understood
I address the conflict immediately as a Standard Failure. I inform both players that their personal feelings are secondary to the "Squad's Integrity" and that further disruption will result in roster removal
I separate them in drills for the rest of the season and hope the tension dissipates on its own
I believe conflict is a natural part of competitive sports and I let the players "fight it out" until a natural hierarchy is established
66
A key player performs well in matches but regularly arrives late or misses training without notice. How do you protect the CVC DNA?* This field is required.
I send them a friendly text message reminding them that the team misses them, but I do not impose any roster-based consequences
I allow the behaviour because their match-day performance is helping us win. I believe high-talent players should be given "grace" regarding administrative rules
I assume they have a valid reason and wait for them to come to me to explain their absence before I take any action
Their role or court time is immediately reduced until their attendance matches what is expected of a CVC athlete
67
When joining a club with an established methodology like CVC, how do you balance your own coaching style with our existing structures?* This field is required.
I adopt the "Empty Cup" (Shoshin) philosophy. I recognise that CVC is a specialised system and I fully align my "voice" to the Japanese Blueprint and institutional non-negotiables
I believe my prior success is why I was hired. I will run the team exactly how I always have, assuming CVC will adapt to my "proven" winning ways
I will say I am following the club method during reviews, but in the heat of a match, I will revert to whatever feels natural to me
I follow the rules I agree with, but I quietly maintain my own "signature" drills and style for the parts of the system I find less effective
68
It’s finals week. You must choose how to allocate reps during the final 120-minute block. Which do you choose?* This field is required.
I spread the reps evenly across the whole team, including the bench. I believe that making everyone feel "part of the journey" is more important than winning the final
I focus almost exclusively on the Primary Squad. In a high-performance meritocracy, the final preparation must maximise the sharpness of the squad most likely to execute the win
I use finals week to start training the younger players for next season, regardless of the upcoming match result
I spend the whole session running "split drills" where the bench plays against the starters, even if the starters don't get the specific tactical work they need

What does “Ownership Mentality” mean to you?* This field is required.

At CVC, all training plans are reviewed by the Director of Performance & Coaching Strategy. Following a review, the Director suggests significant changes to your upcoming session to better align with the Japanese Blueprint. What is your response?* This field is required.
I appreciate the input but choose to keep my original plan. I believe that as the coach on the floor, I have a superior understanding of my specific squad's immediate needs than the Director
I implement the changes I personally agree with and ignore the rest. I believe that my coaching "signature" should not be entirely overwritten by institutional requirements
I immediately internalise the Director's feedback as "Intelligence Data". I revise my plan to ensure it meets the institutional standard, recognising that alignment with the Director’s strategy is the only way to achieve Vision 2032
I ask for an urgent meeting to debate the changes. I believe that session plans should be a 50/50 negotiation between the Director and the individual coach
71
During a match, your team’s serve-receive starts breaking down. What is your "Architect" approach?* This field is required.
I call a timeout and tell them "Don't worry, just try your best," focusing on their feelings rather than technical correction
I call a Strategic Reset. I provide a clinical, technical cue (e.g., "Frozen Platform") and sub-out any player failing to meet the mechanical standard, regardless of their status
I let them "play through it". I believe they need to suffer and figure it out themselves to build character, even if we lose the set
I switch rotations to "hide" the weaker passers, hoping the opponent doesn't notice the weakness
