🎙️ Building Culture, Joy, and Sustained Success in NCAA Division III Volleyball 🏐
In this episode of the Significant Coaching Podcast, Matt Rogers sits down with Karrah Davis, Head Volleyball Coach at the University of Dubuque and one of the great young coaches in NCAA Division III.
After watching her coach live this past season, Matt was struck by the identity of her program — disciplined yet joyful, gritty yet strategic, competitive yet deeply connected. That identity has translated into results:
🔥 50–15 record in her first two seasons
🏆 Back-to-back NCAA Division III National Tournament appearances
🎯 Two trips to the Round of 32
But this conversation goes beyond wins and losses.
Karrah shares what it’s like to lead a program she once played for, how she builds trust with her staff and athletes, and why culture, consistency, and care are the foundation of sustained success. From her love for her staff to the joy of leading dynamic young women, Karrah offers thoughtful insight into what it really takes to build a program that lasts.
If you’re a coach, administrator, or aspiring leader in college athletics, this episode is packed with lessons on leadership, culture, and significance.
