5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, September 12, 2001
By Dr. Randall Watson (McPherson, KS USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you buy ONE book on how to coach volleyball, make it this one. Carl McGown is the "guru" of volleyball and if you read this book, implement what it says, your team will be better RIGHT NOW!

A book which goes beyond the x and o's to provide the coach with the correct skills and attitudes necessary to compete at a high level.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource..., April 13, 2006
As the subtitle "Building a Winning Team" implies, the book touches on the various aspects required to building a team. The authors do an admirable job of providing a wealth of information across a broad spectrum of topics. If you're interested in a general guide with the basics this is the book for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its ok, June 27, 2009
By C. Putman (Logan, Utah) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought this book was OK. It is a large book but doesn't contain many specifics to volleyball. There are a lot of good general sports principles but when it come to actual drills and plays this book is slightly lacking.
