As high school basketball players, we jumped rope for five minutes to start practice. As the video informs, rope jumping increases coordination, endurance, leg and ankle strength.
It requires no complicated equipment, no teammates, and little space. Jump ropes are inexpensive and add value for your training.
Lagniappe. Here's a one paragraph ChatGPT Plus summary of Pete Carroll's philosophy on competition.
Pete Carroll believes competition is not something reserved for game day — it is the engine of daily growth. His philosophy centers on creating an environment where players constantly “compete to become their best,” with energy, enthusiasm, accountability, and psychological safety. Carroll emphasizes that true competition is not about fear or humiliation, but about bringing out maximum effort and continual improvement through challenge. Every rep matters. Positions are earned daily, not protected by status or seniority. Applied to volleyball, Carroll’s approach would mean creating a gym culture where athletes compete relentlessly in serve-receive, transition play, communication, conditioning, and problem-solving while still supporting teammates. Competition becomes developmental rather than threatening. The goal is not merely to identify the best players, but to elevate the entire level of the gym by making improvement visible, measurable, and constant.
