Mental Toughness Training for Volleyball,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mental Toughness/Volleyball (Paperback)
This was an interesting, easy to understand book. Volleyball is highly dependent on momentum and you can't afford to have even a brief mental breakdown. This book talks about getting back on track and why when players get nervous they mess up because they inadvertantly change their mechanics. This book was helpful for any type of athlete or coach.
