Book Description

The Coaching Bible Series July 15, 2002

Now, for the first time in the sport of volleyball, you can learn from the most successful U.S. coaches and apply their approaches to your own program. In The Volleyball Coaching Bible, 24 of the top U.S. men's and women's volleyball coaches share their principles, insights, strategies, methods, and experiences to help you learn new and better ways to coach the game and develop your players.

From Mike Hebert's chapter on setting goals to Russ Rose's chapter on productive practices and Mary Wise's chapter on serving, this book provides the full-court coverage you've been looking for. The vast amounts of new information– spanning more than three decades–are divided into five sections, making it easy to choose what to implement in your program:

·“Coaching Principles and Priorities” by Mark Pavlik, Mike Hebert, and Jona Braden
·“Program Building and Management” by Doug Beal, Terry Pettit, John Dunning, Dave Shondell, and Tom Pingel
·“Innovative and Effective Practice Sessions” by Russ Rose, Mary Jo Peppler, Bill Neville, and John Cook
·“Individual Skills and Team Tactics” by Mary Wise, Steve Shondell, Teri Clemens, Paula Weishoff, Jim Stone, Rudy Suwara, Fred Sturm, Peter Hanson, and Taras Liskevych
·“Game-Winning and Tournament-Winning Strategies” by Pete Waite, Jim Coleman, and Al Scates

Each time you open this book you'll learn something new from some of the most respected names in the game. Whether you need guidance on conditioning, coaching, scouting, or scoring, The Volleyball Coaching Bible provides you with the game plan for building a winning program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fundamentals and motivational, October 23, 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Volleyball Coaching Bible (The Coaching Bible Series) (Paperback)
I have just finished this book before my club season is starting and I highly recommend it. The book applies to many areas of volleyball from youth to college/national and from men to women.

If you are looking for a beginners coaching book that outlines the skills in detail with a bunch of drills, this is NOT the book for you.

The caliber of contributors is excellent and the chapters were put together nicely...it flowed from front to back. I've played and coached for many years. I learned a few new things in this book, but I also felt like the book gave me a different perspective on areas I already knew. I will probably read/review this book prior to my club seasons.

There were a few graphics/demonstrations. There were great pics illustrating Conditioning and Stretching. There were a few sketches of attacking and digging. Jim Coleman did a nice job on Statistics.

This review is from: The Volleyball Coaching Bible (The Coaching Bible Series) (Paperback)
This book is worth every penny. It is written by the legends of the the game. I have read the book from cover to cover, and can still pick it up and learn something new. It has some great tips about how to motivate, communicate and teach everything about volleyball.

4.0 out of 5 stars Volleyball Strategies, November 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Volleyball Coaching Bible (The Coaching Bible Series) (Paperback)
Having not played volleyball since junior high, I was looking for a good book that would give me an understanding of all angles of the game. This book is a collection of essays on each facet by different well respected coaches. Each coach was chosen according to their strong suit to lay out their individual strategies and techniques on a particular piece of the game. I found the book to be full of tidbits that make watching and playing the game much more enjoyable.The Volleyball Coaching Bible
