If you’re looking for insights beyond X’s and O’s on how to be a better coach, Stephanie Schleuder’s “Brain Training for Volleyball” is a must-read. – What do you do if a player is dogging it in practice? – How do you teach captains to be better leaders? – What are good strategies for building team chemistry? – How do you deal with chronic complainers? – How do you raise the collective energy of your team? Schleuder deals with all of this and a lot more, and she offers specific solutions – worksheets, even – based on her many years of collegiate coaching experience. Winning volleyball matches, as Schleuder points out, is not just about having a good game plan and good players. It’s also about knowing which buttons to push to bring out the best in your athletes and how to integrate them into a single unit that will function at the height of its potential.
