Unlock Your Inner Champion

The Libero position is one of volleyball's most important and least understood positions. It's also one of the most difficult to master, with a steep learning curve that few players can navigate.

Discover the winning edge with insider knowledge on failures, mindset, and habits, and develop the right moves to take your game to the next level.

Mindset

Float Serve reception can be debilitating, physically and mentally. I've been there and I'm going to help you pivot your energy towards the concepts that will help you become more confident.

Read The Game

Liberos you can't anticipate where the ball is going are going to miss out on digs and miss out on making amazing plays. We are going to empower you to read, fill and make quick decisions that will lead to more head turning digs.

problem Solver

Liberos can't kill balls, which makes it harder to move on from our bad passes. That's why I brought on my professional visualization coach to help you envision and pivot past tough in game situations before they happen so you can move on to the 'next ball' quicker.

Strong Leadership

Liberos can and should lead. How? You have to understand what the opposing team wants to do before they do it. That's why we have a full course on scouting, where you can watch my 1:1 calls with our NCAA liberos to learn how you can prepare like an All-American libero before you become one.

As a libero, you hold a critical position in the game

What separates a good libero from a stand out libero?

It's not just passing and digging at a high level, it's understanding how to make quick reads, to organize your reception line and eventually to take 40-60% of the court, progressing one by one through our 15 concepts on serve reception.

If you're frustrated in your role as a Defensive Specialist or ready to make the top team in your club as a libero...

you're going to have to take more responsibility in learning professional concepts, principles and drills so you can get 1-2% better each and every day.

Being a libero is as intense physically as it is emotionally. We are expected to be the best passer, to not miss any digs and to be perfect on every single free ball!

Instead of "I must be perfect" mindset, we push our liberos to think, prepare, scout and train like a pro, while empowering with the tools and mindset to move past mistakes, rather than allowing your in-game errors to define you.

Hey there, I'm Dustin Watten, a professional libero for Team USA and the founder of noezybuckets and the Libero Academy. Over the years, I've worked with NCAA athletes, both libero, and outside hitters, helping them to improve their skills and performance on the court.

I'm passionate about sharing my insights and knowledge with the next generation of players, so I created the Libero Guide.

Have you ever wondered how the best liberos always seem to get to the balls faster and more efficiently?

The answer to this question is the key to taking your game from good to great, and even from great to legendary. In fact, this is the first concept I focus on with all my 1:1 clients and NCAA athletes like Zoe Fleck, Lexi Rodriguez, and Mason Briggs.

In the Libero Guide Series, I explain this concept in a way that is easy to understand, regardless of your current skill level.

Hey Dustin, I just wanted to thank you for all your help with mental game via the first HS Elite Libero Clinic and the Libero academy. I had a really rough first day at tryouts and felt that my talents weren't being as recognized by coaches. I went home, complained, got all upset, and blamed everyone but myself. However, it was after that when I watched the NCAAW Elite film where you reminded me of the Dichotomy of Control and to just focus on my play and the things that I could control. I came back the next day, started on the second court, played my game, and got moved up to the first court and killed it before being offered a spot on the 2s team as a Libero. Thank you so much for all of your help.

Hey Dustin, I just finished Taichi's 7 Day Course and it opened my mind to so many other skillsets I can work on to incorporate into my play. It's really an awesome addition to the courses already there! I'm loving all the content that's being pumped so far, and all the events you've held that you allowed me to be a part of. Thanks to the 1v1's, Libero Academy, and the Tribe events you allowed me to be a part of, I am beginning to see my true potential come into fruition! My job as a college libero isn't over yet, but best believe I'm going out of my last year with a bang! I hope everything is going well for you in Poland and looking forward to seeing you in other events in the future! Keep working hard in Poland, and I'll do the same here!

I was talking to Southern Virginia University coach Thomas Peterson at nationals. He said his team uses a lot of imagery before games. I didn't really understand what he meant. But I spend all day yesterday watching the NCAA Women Libero course and I know what it means now! I'm totally going to start practicing it! So I put specific words to help with my visualization down on a piece of paper and I want to transform it into some big poster I can put on my wall. To have the Best Day Ever mindset and remember what it is. And I'm also registered for the webinar! So excited man!!

Hey Dustin, from Australia here! Up until March I was fine passing floats standing still up until I moved to DIV 1. Everyone was significantly older that me and had more experience than me, I STRUGGLED to perform the standards that I wanted to play at. I began to incorporate the split step into my play a couple months ago. I POPPED off at State Trials, I got selected and I am forever grateful for your insights on the split step. I expected a 45-minute seminar this morning (Australia time) and you went above and beyond. Your passion to play, learn and teach volleyball is more than inspiring. I'm planning on getting the Libero academy. School Holidays are coming up and I'm going to buy the monthly plan and DIVE into the content. I'm excited for what the future holds! Thanks Dustin

After only a week since starting I'm already noticing my play improving a lot, I felt like I was always in the right spot and everythinf that came at me went up in a good way so I'd like to say thanks again and I'll try to cop the full year membership when I get the money. What you said at the webinar today about broke college students putting in the work after paying for the membership hit home with me cause thats literally me, im very grateful for all of this material and I'm still improving at a crazy rate and I'm teaching my friends concepts to help them get better too. I just want to say thanks again and hope that if I win one of the 1v1 meetings with you I have enough video to make that worth your time.

Hello Dustin, my coach recently assigned us to watch your course and to become a true student of the game. After watching and listening to you break down the art of passing, I had a much more successful practice receiving and digging balls as well. Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have with the people around the world!
