I got here throughout this query in a training group:
Do any of you all assume that volleyball coaches overthink all the things? From armswing to workforce bonding….we’re simply all over.
I wish to sort out this query in two methods.
We truly don’t assume sufficient
My first suggestion is that we truly don’t assume sufficient, particularly about sure issues. There’s A LOT to good teaching. From the school stage, this put up provides you an thought of all of the off-the-court issues the teaching workers offers with. That’s just about the height of coach involvement in organizational points. Highschool coaches undoubtedly have some, however usually not fairly as a lot. Membership coaches are inclined to have even much less.
However let’s put the stuff that doesn’t impression the present workforce’s efficiency and growth apart.
I wrote beforehand about the 2 largest on-court jobs of a coach being line-up choice and coaching prioritization. And that’s true. However there are every kind of items to that, and it’s additionally simply a part of the equation. One of many stuff you come to know as you develop is a coach is how a lot you don’t know but – what number of stuff you haven’t been listening to in your work.
Now, to be truthful, there are many issues we simply can’t deal with. We don’t have the time or the sources to do all of it, so we’ve got to prioritize. That brings up my second means of taking a look at this.
We expect an excessive amount of concerning the mistaken issues
It is vitally simple to go down sure rabbit holes in our considering. I’m speaking about stuff that received’t have a serious impression. For a lot of groups, stats is a major space. Stats might be extraordinarily helpful in loads of respects, however there’s a restrict. At a sure stage, you’re too deep within the trivialities to be taking a look at issues that affect outcomes. The place that line falls relies on your stage of play.
It could be very helpful for a professional workforce to know the set distribution of the opposite workforce in Rotation 1 when the entrance row OH passes the ball. That’s possible loads much less helpful on your common highschool or membership workforce, although. At that stage 1) chances are you’ll not even be capable to do something with that info, and a pair of) different issues most likely have a lot larger affect on outcomes.
Trying elsewhere, it’s a query of time and vitality used relative to the achieve achieved. I see coaches utilizing giant quantities of their deal with technical or tactical adjustments that may make a participant or workforce 1% higher, once they might be specializing in adjustments that can get a 25% enchancment. Or spending all their time eager about technical and tactical stuff and leaving out the psychological half.
Just a bit one thing to get you considering much more. LOL
