The Volleyball Toolbox is a volleyball coaching site designed to to provide coaches with as many different resources as possible to help them develop a championship program. The very best volleyball programs stand out. There is just something about them. Their players always seem to be, on average, more skilled than that their competitors. They are always in the right place and always making the right play. The way they execute their systems is just better than most. Their players are always confident and positive. They are full of energy and enthusiasm even in the third match of the day. They just don’t tire. They just don’t seem to have those ‘’little injuries” that pop up and cause players to have to be taken out at crucial times of the match. They rarely fall behind, and when they do they remain composed and you get the feeling that they are going to end up “pulling this one out.” They expect to win and their opponents expect them to win.
The coaches of the very best volleyball programs successfully develop the following:
- Individual player skills and systems of play that take advantage of those skills
- A high level of both mental and physical toughness in their players
- A culture and identity of their program
When observing elite volleyball programs, the ones with sustainable success, evidence of all three of the above is clearly present. You don’t have to be a National Championship team or a State Championship team to be elite. Your program will be elite if you, as the coach, can maximize each of these three areas.
Successful volleyball programs, and for that matter any other type of sports program, have a defined “Way” about their program. It’s the program’s trademark. It is defined be the way the team plays, by the way they prepare, by the way they compete, by the way the interact with teammates, opponents and coaches, by the way they win and by the way they lose. Coaches of successful programs realize that they must plan activities/practices that help to develop their program’s “Way”. The “Way” of a program is the ultimate responsibility of the coach.
A volleyball program with the right “Way” will see its teams win a fair share of championships, will be fortunate to have individuals receive recognition, will shine a positive light on its school and or community and most importantly teach its participants valuable skills needed to be successful.
The best coaches are not only great leaders and teachers, they are great students. Successful coaches keep learning. They study new ideas and then reject some, adopt some and adapt some.
