2.0 out of 5 stars Not what it appears to be, July 6, 2001

Heather Brand (Bothell, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Volleyball Drill Book: Individual Skills (Paperback)

Though this book seems to boast ideas for self-improvement, the title "Individual Skills" is misleading. I was looking forward to discovering some drills I could do on my own to improve my performance but when I got the book, I found nearly every drill listed requires full team. There are some good ideas for teams, but as far as individually, the book lacks in suggestions for self-improvement independent. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is playing recreational volleyball and looking to improve on his/her own time.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped turn our program around., November 3, 2000

Gary Anderson (volleyball-tips.com) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Volleyball Drill Book: Game Action Drills (Paperback)

It's one thing to run drills in practice based on individual skills, but it's also important to have the team work AS a team during practice, and Bob's book offers a huge number of drills to allow teams to work on team skills.

The drills duplicate gamelike situations and are explained in enough detail to make them easily understandable, and therefore, easily coachable.

I highly recommend this book to any coach trying to upgrade their team's overall performance. I credit the information I discovered in Bob's book with helping turn our high school's program around.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" in your coaching library., November 10, 2000

Gary Anderson (volleyball-tips.com) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Volleyball Drill Book: Individual Skills (Paperback)

Coaches are always looking for more drills, and if you've found yourself in a rut, there are two Bob Burtucci books that you should consider adding to your library: this one and his "Game Action Drills."

This book features drills designed to help players work on every individual skill in the game, and there are enough drills to allow variation, thus reducing the chance that players will get bored.

The diagrams are easy to understand, and I've found the drills to be very effective. Therefore, I recommend both of Bob's drill books highly.
