On the InNOLEvation® Mindset Podcast, host Mark McNees interviews FSU alum and Open beach volleyball player Gerry Gonzalez about returning to Tallahassee from Miami after an open tournament and his collaboration with TruVolley/Volleyball Life. Gerry explains how a viral “degrees from a pro” data project led to a call with Volleyball Life, a partnership role leading product vision and community insight, and plans to beta-launch the TruVolley Pass on September 1. They define the TruVolley score (a head-to-head, Glicko2-based rating) and compare it to Mark’s CourtSense.app for ranking non-tournament players, organizing pickup games, and supporting coaching and leagues. Gerry also discusses his online coaching model, film review workflow, mental approach coaching, volleyball training priorities, wearable tech, and his goals to reach the top 100 nationally.
