"Situational awareness." - from Jack Carr in "True Believer" in Terminal List (Book 2)
Lessons cross domains. The quote above comes in a conversation with the hero, James Reece, a Navy SEAL commander. In sports and in life, you need awareness, communication, and optionality.
As a set and a match progresses, the situation changes. Maybe they're attacking from the middle or back row. Maybe they emphasize the short game with tips and setter dumps. Don't adhere to an ineffective strategy.
Former Celtics' assistant Kevin Eastman says that when it's not working:
1) Do it harder.
2) Do it better.
3) Change personnel.
4) "$&*^ it ain't working..." and change strategy
Volleyball is a thinking person's sport. Serving is both technical (skill) and tactical (strategy). The same goes for attacking. Reading the opponent's serve (for receive) and attacks is vital. Remember the acronym CARE - concentrate, anticipate, react, and execute.
Lagniappe. Play more competitive ball.
