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.
The focus of the first week of training was mainly on getting the players integrated and communicating, and laying the foundation for moving ahead.
Players are limited in what they perceive and remember, which is one of the reasons there are coaches, but we also need to be aware of our own limits there.
Most of my focus this week was on getting to know the confirmed returning players, though player recruitment continues to be front and center.
If you create the right kind of training environment and keep your players focused on their next responsibility you can help them get over mistakes quickly.
The last week has seen me continue work on identifying player signings, plus starting to connect with the players and develop priorities.
Is there a conflict between being a positive coach and being a tough coach? I would suggest the answer is No, and that the two should go hand-in-hand.
A volleyball coach asks what can be done to help a young player with a problem executing her serves in a match despite having no problems in training.
Because of limited numbers, I couldn't do the team serve receive work I wanted, but I was able to make it a mentally challenging session for the team and players.
