Are you a new volleyball coach who is trying to understand the positions on a volleyball team? Are you trying to place players in positions but don't know where to start when looking at your roster? Let me help! Keep in mind... this information is highly generalized and more for younger and newer teams. I hope this provides you with guidance but if you disagree with anything I highly encourage you to do what you think is best for your team! There have been plenty of times I myself have gone against the general advice provided in this episode, simply because it didn't work with the roster I had that season. I wish you good luck, and if you'd like to discuss further I encourage you to join the Volleyball Coaches Corner group on Facebook where you can talk to other volleyball coaches across the world! —————— Support the podcast: https://anchor.fm/getthepancake/support ----------- LINKS ----------- Volleyball Coaches Corner: https://www.facebook.com/groups/322963254922796/ Get The Pancake: www.getthepancake.com

I thought this week I'd go more "motivational" and share a very small portion of one of the most influential books on my own personal coaching career.  John Wooden was an astonishing basketball coach who achieved much during his long career, and I've always found his style, values, and teachings to be motivational, no matter what situation I was in. Let me share two building blocks of his infamous "Pyramid of Success" with you in this week's episode. ----------- LINKS ----------- Affiliate link to "Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success" (the exact copy I own.

On todays episode, I read you the article "Coaching Anxious Players: 5 Steps To Confident Athletes" from www.getthepancake.com. If you have a player (or two) on your team who seems to freeze up or look to you for support when you are not expecting it, they might be feeling anxious in the moment. I give you 5 steps to follow in order to help them feel more confident in themselves and their actions, leading to athletes who don't hesitate on the court. *Disclaimer: I’m going to discuss coaching players who are ANXIOUS, not players who have been diagnosed with anxiety. I am not a sports psychologist. Just an experienced coach who is sharing tips to try to help you coach through a growing trend I’ve noticed among volleyball athletes in the past 2-3 years. ------------ LINKS ------------ "Volleyball Coaches Corner" closed Facebook group - Get The Pancake community.
