Grandmaster Garry Kasparov says that part of chess is knowing what not to do when there's nothing to do and what to do when there's something to do.
Be able to create and press your advantage. Great process allows you to "leave an impression."
Chess players see the board in 'chunks' to develop themes.
If you wanted to memorize a speech, you might "chunk it" as in "four score and seven years ago."
In basketball you might have a guard, post, wing triangle that generates numerous scoring options from the same spacing.
How could you use "chunking" in volleyball? For example, how about a pass to the middle for a set?
- Set the outside hitter
- Set the opposite
- Set for a back row attack
- Backset short attack
- The rhythm of the outside attack footwork
Learning is complex process that demands that you "learn how to learn." Chunking adds value.
Practice the footwork visualizing it first, practicing, and repeating. UCLA basketball coach John Wooden preached EDIR5 - explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition x 5.
Top performers in any domain use this process. "Repetition makes reputations."
