"Psychologist Daniel Kahneman says, “The idea that what you don’t see might refute everything you believe just doesn’t occur to us.”" - "Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes" by Morgan Housel
There's an old saying, "what you don't know can kill you." How does that apply to volleyball?
Melrose was in the State Finals, 2011 I believe. The opponent had the least athletic-looking defender in recent memory. Looks can deceive. She got to everything and kept it up, platform, one-armed right OR left. She wasn't the sole contributor but she was spectacular.
Many sports have symmetry. What you want to do on offense you want to prevent on defense. Rotate elite front row players off the net. In a game of momentum, maintaining or regaining momentum is pivotal.
Most opponents will get their strongest servers in play immediately. Presume an early onslaught. Be ready for those bombs out of the gate. Seize the momentum. Top teams bring sharks not minnows. They don't bring a gun to a gunfight; they bring a tank.
The top teams do what they do. There's no reason at this level ever to be surprised.
Lagniappe. Thoughts on serve-receive.
