In an episode of the Coach Your Brains Out podcast (really Half 2 of a 2-parter), there was a dialogue between Jamie Morrison and Joe Trinsey on whether or not momentum exists in volleyball. Within the alternate, Jamie urged momentum in volleyball comes all the way down to the psychological abilities of the gamers.
I’ll clarify.
Principally, Jamie’s premise was that as gamers enhance their psychological abilities they change into more and more targeted on the present second. The final play, or sequence of performs, doesn’t matter. Thus, no momentum.
I believe we intention to assist our athletes attain that degree of mindfulness and being within the second. We speak about having a “subsequent play mentality” or being like a goldfish.
And we additionally – hopefully – work with our groups collectively to do the identical. The person context and the crew context are totally different, although associated, in any case.
However neither all our gamers – particularly abruptly – nor our crew are excellent on this regard. And neither are the gamers on the opposite aspect of the web from us. So momentum might be a factor at instances.
The blokes introduced up a associated matter to this within the present. That’s the influence of timeouts. Within the mixture, timeouts do not need any influence on the sideout likelihood of the subsequent rally. Joe talked about research he’s carried out and I’ve written about that earlier than. I believe it was Jamie who rightly stated on the podcast, nonetheless, the combination figures virtually actually obscure the truth that some groups carry out higher after a timeout whereas the other should essentially even be true.
