Rubber Ducking

Ideas surround us. "Rubber ducking" is another term for brainstorming. Some writers have used a rubber duck as a conversation starter to overcome 'writer's block'. 

What does this have to do with sports or volleyball?

Brad Stevens asked rhetorically, "what does our team need today?" Every coach and player can benefit from asking the question. No singular answer exists. 

Coach Scott Celli invests time to put the team in the best position to succeed. MVB might need:

  • A day off
  • A good night's sleep
  • Sports psychology visualization/positive imagery
  • Minor adjustments in technique
  • Strategic adjustments (slide attacks, pipe attacks)
  • Lineup changes 
Lagniappe. You don't need expensive equipment. Do pushups, do pushups against a set of stairs. Use your imagination to work various muscle groups. MHS also has excellent weight training facilities.
