After eight straight victories during pre-season and the first part of the regular season, we finally suffered our first defeat - in disappointing fashion.
The reaction of my perfectionist players in a defensive drill once reminded me of one of the reasons I like to push the training tempo.
How we communicate with respect to errors has a major influence on the mentality of our team and players, as John Speraw notes in a video clip.
How do the various European domestic professional volleyball leagues rank? That's a question I've had for a while. I recently got at least a partial answer.
I was once told about a case of assistant coaches bad-mouthing the head coach in a way that got back to the players. Totally unprofessional.
Challenges in training this week, but good match experiences and results for the players on a couple of different fronts. Plus, new technology.
It's always interesting to understand the systems teams and organizations operate under in various places and the impact they have on how they can operate.
It bothers me when I see some players not taking part in the team huddle during timeouts. Is a little exercise worth them not being with the team?
Please don't be the volleyball coach who waits for set point to call a timeout - especially when your team is well down on the scoreboard.
