5 Reasons Why My Volleyball Coaching Style Makes Me A Good Fit For You
I do things differently when it comes to my volleyball coaching style and I may (or may not) be a good fit for your player so lets look at what I do in practice
I do things differently when it comes to my volleyball coaching style and I may (or may not) be a good fit for your player so lets look at what I do in practice
"Oh my god I never sweat that much in my high school or club practices"
"I never work this hard in practice."
My face is so red I can't believe it. This never happens!
Whenever I get new clients these are just a few examples of the most common responses I get after the first or second practice with me when they try to describe my volleyball coaching style.
Use these volleyball drills for hitting to improve your attacking power which begins with a strong three step or four step spike approach.

The Private Volleyball Coaching Drills We Do
USA High Performance, Coronado High School, State Champion Finalist Left Side Hitter and GCU outside hitter Jacob Ceci working on hitting 3s
That's what drills are all about, progress and improvement.
The first time you do a drill it might not feel or look so good. But each time after that, as long as you can see you are making progress you can feel the improvement, then you're on the right road.
Private Volleyball Coaching Goals I Have For My Private Clients: 1000 Reps/Hour
I specifically aim to do a minimum of 800 reps and a max of 1000 reps in one hour and that's why I've perfected the skill of talking when the player is working (as opposed to talking and the player stands in place, cold and not doing anything but just listening).
Do you know how much more work we get done because of this?

Taking volleyball lessons with me is a positive experience because my lessons help defensive and offensive players visualize, develop and identify realistic volleyball playing goals.
Learning to
think faster,
make faster decisions about where to turn and where to go and how to fast to go on the court
read the "room" the developing situations faster on the court
react faster to the ball or to supporting your teammates as they take care of contacting the ball
develop faster foot speed so you get from one spot to another...at faster higher speeds
let me repeat this in case you didn't hear me the first time...think faster which means faster decision-making while doing 1-2 things at once
talk faster so when I say faster talking...I mean players learn how to use less words to say much more in shorter amounts of time...(yeah I said that....its an artform)
When you move faster, you have to think faster and everything you do speeds up and is done at a faster pace.
This is another reason why we get so much done in a shorter amount of time and why players sweat in practice.
Another reason my volleyball coaching style in Vegas is unusual is because I don't allow my clients' parents on the court watching or "helping" during lessons or training sessions.
There are more volleyball clubs in Vegas and when we develop more 13, 14 and 15 year old players who're athletic and who can jump higher, hit harder, run faster and who are fearless when it comes to playing in highly competitive environments...that's when we will get more Vegas players competing in the higher divisions in national qualifier tournaments like Open division.
The 13-15 year old players around the country playing in Open division are not in practice looking at Mommy and Daddy while playing and learning to solve problems that develop when on the court while trying to figure out the best way to score the next point and they don't ask the coach an excessive amount of questions.
One reason my volleyball coaching style in Vegas is unusual is because my clients' parents aren't on the court watching our lessons.
They can watch on closed circuit TV in the lobby or wait in the lounge waiting room at Its All Volleyball but I don't have them seated near the court watching nor "helping" to shag while we are doing drills.

With so many more volleyball clubs in Vegas, the competition for younger, confident, self aware and fearless point producing players has grown and it will continue to grow.
