Happy Black Friday all!
OK. I’m not really THAT excited. I’m definitely not the sort to be out among the crowds hunting for big bargains. If that’s you, go for it! It’s just not me.
No matter whether you’re joining or avoiding the throngs, though, this is definitely the time of year when thoughts turn to gifts – be they for others or for ourselves. 😉
With that in mind, here are some recommendations for books to get for coaches on your shopping list, to put on your own holiday wish list, or to just simply buy for yourself.
Of course, I can’t help but start with my own books. 😀
There’s The Perfect Drill, which is a quick read aimed at helping you come up with great drills and games for your practices.
And for those interested in college recruiting, there’s my new book, The College Volleyball Recruiting Playbook. It’s a resource aimed at players and parents, but has loads of useful information for coaches as well.
Then there’s the Volleyball Coaching Wizards series. These are books I developed with Mark Lebedew and Lauren Bertolacci based on interviews we did with a bunch of great coaches from all around the world and at a variety of levels.
Then there are books I recommended on this blog. Here are some of the best, vaguely grouped by broad topic.
This isn’t every book I’ve reviewed, of course. If you’d like to flip through that list – which includes books I don’t recommend, or am more iffy about – you can scroll through them all here.
If that’s not enough, during the interviews we did for Volleyball Coaching Wizards we always asked for reading recommendations. Here’s the full list of books mentioned.
