Read A Lot

Read a lot. Never stop learning to be a better coach.

But don’t read only volleyball coaching books and articles. You can glean a lot of information from business, medical, self help and motivational books.

Read them with your coaching brain. For example, when I read a book or article on business teams,  the same principles apply to volleyball teams.  Both teams have leaders, followers, fun loving players and clowns.  How you deal with each is similar.

Strategies on team building, competing, selecting teams are also similar for both business and volleyball.

Some of my favorites books are:
  • “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg
  • “Just Listen” by Mark Goulston 
  • “Switch: When Switching is Hard” by Heath and Heath
  • “Good to Great” by Jim Collins.  
The more you read the better coach you will become!
