About the Author

Pete Waite has led his Wisconsin Badgers to a record of 228-67 (.773). Qualifying for the NCAA championship tournament in each of Waite's nine seasons, Wisconsin was national runner-up in 2000; finished in the top eight in 2004 and 2005; advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2001 and 2006; and saw second-round action in 1999, 2002, 2003, and 2007. In the Big Ten, the Badgers won league titles in 2000 and 2001 and were runners-up in 1999, 2002, 2005, and 2007.

At 494-169 (.745) in 20 years overall, including 11 years at Northern Illinois, Waite ranks 13th among active Division I head coaches in winning percentage. He has been conference coach of the year seven times in four different conferences, winning 10 conference championships. Statistically, Waite's teams consistently rank high nationally in the major categories (hitting percentage, assists, kills, and blocks), indicating not only a skilled team but also an aggressive style of play.

Pete lives in Madison, Wisconsin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, June 25, 2009
This review is from: Aggressive Volleyball (Paperback)
In this book, Pete has given coaches and players of all levels a great perspective on the complete game of volleyball. The aggressive/competitive spin he has emphasized hasn't been addressed in other books on the market and makes for a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drills too, January 16, 2010
This review is from: Aggressive Volleyball (Paperback)
In addition to the comments by other reviewers, I'd like to note that at the end of each section there are a few drills that tie in to the chapter's theme. Overall I found the quality of the drills to be pretty good and fairly original.
