"Train It and Trust It"

Athletes can't fix mechanics on the fly. Game time isn't the moment to fix your hitting stance, free throw form, or your arm swing.

Quality repetitions are key to better performance. Mental repetitions also help. See yourself serving Ss - seam, spin, short, sideline, or (weak) sister. 

Regardless of skill or grade level, doubt degrades performance. "Believe it and do it." Visualization and affirmations of identity and performance help.

See your pre-serve routine, your toss, contact, and follow-through into a great serve. Watching video to imprint this also offers reinforcement. Then practice purposefully.How are you doing today?

“A volleyball player has to put aside all thoughts of past failures, and trust that her next swing send a shot where he aims it. He has to develop the basketball shooters mentality.” - modified from Bob Rotella

The same principles apply for attack, block, receive, and setting. Believe it, see it, and do it.

“Train it and trust it.”
