Watching Volleyball Video

Just as "everyone benefits from coaching," everyone benefits from clear video analysis. Many of you have cellphones...learn to watch your own video. 

What separates 'execution'? 

  • Personnel (who's on the field or in the classroom?)
  • Strategy (what's the intent?)
  • Operations (results are in the details)
The author argues to study:
  • Structure
  • Concepts 
  • Tendencies (do they attack middle, pins, setter dumps, pipe?)
  • Anticipation (what comes next of what if?)
Decades ago Melrose headed into the the sectional final against a team that focused on tips and "irritation." Every point they scored they danced wildly in celebration. Melrose took away the tips, quieting the dancing and the crowd.

Lagniappe. Winning recommendations.
