Abstract: In this paper, we prove that a critical metric of the volume functional with pinched Weyl curvature is isometric to a geodesic ball in $mathbb{S}^n.$ Moreover, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the norm of the gradient of the potential function in order to classify such critical metrics.
