This book also provides ideas on game planning and coaching the match, including how to use scouting reports and statistical information to develop a game plan; three guidelines for game-plan design; how to organize pre-match, during-match, and post-match coaching responsibilities; recommendations for improving focus during a match; and five ingredients for a successful post-match team meeting. This guide contains everything coaches need to know about teaching volleyball and organizing a successful programme.

About this title

From the Publisher

"Insights and Strategies for Winning Volleyball offers solid information, practical tips, and important concepts. Hebert encourages coaches to analyse a team and its potential and provides his personal experience to light the way."

New Zealand Journal of HPER

"Definitely not a "run-of-the-mill" volleyball book. Mike's ideas are written in a refreshing style and with many thought-provoking ideas. I found this book to be an excellent source for offense and defense concepts. It is an invaluable and thorough account of program building--what works and what does not work. A must for every coach's library, an excellent resource for team tactics, games planning and program building."

Taras Liskevych, PhD Head Coach USA Women's National Team

"Finally, a book about coaching that stimulates thought, exploration, and creativity. Mike has skillfully outlined a process that will help others create their own style. A must read for coaches that consider themselves students of the game."

Kathy DeBoer Head Volleyball Coach and Assistant Athletic Director University of Kentucky
