My new favorite podcast is, of course, The Perception & Action Podcast by @ShakeyWaits. Level up your coaching by giving this podcast a listen. I promise you that you won't regret it. "Keep it co"ming, Rob. 😉 youtu.be/cCsezh7ijzs

Hey vballers, @MandalayBay convention center is auto charming gratuity and service charges to your food and drink purchases at #GJNC. Gratuity and service charges are not required costs! Check your receipt before you pay!

Not sure about anyone else, but I'm not seeing a lot of @GMSvolleyball bunch reach blocking schemes or elbow to fingers and finger to finger spacing in base blocking in the women's #VNL2024 matches. I'm seeing a whole lot more pinch spread and double spread than anything else.

My favorite rally of the 23-24 club season so far. Our OH gets stuck in the middle and has to "play" middle blocker. She doesn't want to and our OPP wouldn't switch with her, b/c she didn't want to block middle either. 😂The FR play was hilarious and the BR play was outstanding.

Can’t hear it enough! Appreciate how easy @thecoachjav makes it to grasp concepts like representative learning, adding noise, and the rationale for including decision making into learning tasks. 👏 #coachingvolleyball @AVCAVolleyball @usavolleyball

@PsychScientists Did I just see that wall move? Wait. Nope. No, I didn’t. False alarm. I’m crazy.

These guys are gonna be unstoppable during the wall segment of the football match

Wish I were going. Mark me down for next year! Give my spot to someone else this year. #avcavolleyball @AVCAVolleyball @NCAAVolleyball @usavolleyball

Learning how to frame things in terms of the probably of winning the rally point has greatly improved my overall practice/drill design. @chadgordon09’s work and insight has made my teams/club better! Bookmark his blog! And then get reading!

Here's a problem with acting on advance cues when we don't have to. 🫡 #volleyball #coachingvolleyball

This one gets a retweet for sure. Love high quality tweets like this. 👏

Do you have a book on education you return to again and again?

💯 Failure is crucial for growth. I appreciate the humility, compassion, and openness to learning that @thecoachjav expresses when sharing one of his own experiences with failure. Thank you and keep up the important work you’re doing.

@thecoachjav @coachKCvb @ChicagoBears Congrats on 1 year. What a big accomplishment. Thanks for the great conversations and the valuable content that you’re sharing with all of us. I’ve personally benefited from listening, and look forward to year 2! 👏🎊🍾

🎙Ep 34-“Turning Coaching Failures into Success” I believe failures can propel us to become better coaches. Today I share insights from my “favorite failures” @coachKCvb , @coachmikegee & @ChicagoBears LB Nick Morrow, TY you for being so authentic! 🔗⬇️ linktr.ee/thecoachjav

Perceiving is for acting, and perceiving one’s environment in a meaningful way is what I aim to help players with. I hope every player in our programs achieve the kind of next level skill, athleticism, and creativity that Susie displays here. #ecologicalpsychology

Over time players become more efficient with their visual search strategies.

I love watching players learn as they play.

“Tell ‘em where to look… don’t tell ‘em what to see.” One of the most useful coaching tips I have learned. Players who look at information rich areas like the ball, the surface it will contact, and the gap between the two are fun to watch.

@coachpvg @EMERGENTMVMT Using a softball during his warmup before going in.

@coachmikegee @EMERGENTMVMT Can you give a concrete example?

Using constraints is not using a constraints-led approach (CLA) Using constraints to constrain an performer to a specific movement is not the same as using constraints to afford searching for new or creative actions. 1/2

@coachpvg @EMERGENTMVMT Volleyball advanced: Non-prescribed: (verbal constraint) After you block get your eyes on the ball sooner. You might be able to see the ball before land. Prescriptive: … cushion your landing, turn and open to the court, and transition off the net with 4 steps.

@coachpvg @EMERGENTMVMT Volleyball beginner: Non-prescriptive ex: constraint is verbal… “How do you hold your hands together when you pass? Are you a ‘holder’ or a ‘folder,’ or do you have a different way than these?” Prescriptive ex: taping hands together in a specific way.
