The Volleyball Coaching Wizards project is about identifying great coaches from all categories of volleyball and making their experience, insights, and expertise available to people all over the world. We interview coaches from across the globe, all age groups, coaching both genders, all competitive levels, indoor and beach. They share with us their philosophies, their thought processes, and their methodologies. We then share that with you. With Wizard Women we take a by women, for women approach. Women in coaching have different challenges than their male colleagues. Those are thing specifically discussed in these interviews, along with everything else. This is not about drills and games. There are other great places to get that type of material. Instead, Volleyball Coaching Wizards is about the thinking that surrounds the technical and tactical side of things. It's about letting you see what great volleyball coaches have in common, and where they differ despite all having great success over their career. There are two main goals of the Wizards project. One is to provide both information and inspiration to volleyball coaches everywhere. The other is to help develop a real volleyball coaching literature, one which matches what can be found in other sports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since becoming the Nebraska women’s volleyball coach in 2000, John Cook has led the team to four national championships, seven NCAA semifinal appearances, and the nation’s top winning percentage in women’s volleyball. In Dream Like a Champion Cook shares the coaching and leadership philosophy that has enabled him to become one of the game’s winningest coaches. Growing up in San Diego, Cook acquired his coaching philosophy from his experiences first as a football coach, then as a student of the sport of volleyball on the beaches of Southern California. After a stint as an assistant volleyball coach at Nebraska, he returned to Nebraska as head coach in 2000 and won the national championship in his first season. Even with a bar set so high, Cook saw at Nebraska’s tradition-rich program the potential for even greater growth and success. He decided to focus on higher expectations, training, motivation, goal setting, and other ways to build the strongest teams possible. In Dream Like a Champion Cook shares the philosophy behind Nebraska’s culture of success and reveals how he’s had to learn, evolve, and be coached himself, even in his fifth decade as a coach. With openness and candor he delivers insights about his methods and passes along lessons that can be used by leaders in any field. Cook also shares behind-the-scenes anecdotes about Nebraska volleyball moments and players—and how he coaches and teaches his players about life beyond the court.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever heard yourself saying something like, "Olivia is such a natural athlete. If she just worked on her timing a little more she'd be a beast at the net!" If so, you should probably be teaching private lessons. If you've coached for a couple of seasons, you've got the experience to help. What holds coaches back, though, isn't a lack of interest. It's not knowing where to begin. Why coaches don't offer private lessons: They don't know... Where to hold private lessons. Who would take lessons from them. How much to charge. If they should even charge at all. What drills they would use. And the list goes on and on. Don't worry, I get it. These are the same reasons I put off lessons for a long time, too. But once I got started, man did I love running private lessons! Not only do lessons help athletes grow tremendously in a short amount of time... they're pretty fun for you, too! And if you bring value to your athletes, you can even turn these lessons into a profitable side-hustle (you know, if you want). A few topics covered in this book: The absolute first thing to do before you offer anyone a private lesson. The equipment I recommend (and what impresses players and parents the most). How to price your lessons. Creating rules and policies so you don't get burned. The types of players you'll work with. Best practices for interacting with parents. A template you can use for every lesson. 10 volleyball drills I use in almost every lesson. And that's just scratching the surface! I want you to feel fully prepared, so I share everything I know about running lessons with you. On top of that, I give plenty of examples throughout the book of things I've experienced. My advice isn't just based on concepts and theories... it's based on what I've seen work in the real world. I'm going to be blunt with you. I hope you get this book. Why? Because I believe that we coaches have the power to change our communities. Every lesson is an opportunity to help an athlete develop their skills, feel confident in their abilities, and build up their self-esteem. Knowing how to get started is the first step towards making that impact. So stop "thinking about" running lessons. Make the choice to get started! About The Author Whitney Bartiuk is a long time volleyball coach dedicated to helping others succeed. She is the host of the top-rated volleyball podcast "Get The Pancake," creator of www.getthepancake.com, and author of "Coaching Volleyball: A Survival Guide For your First Season."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dave Shoji, legendary coach for the University of Hawai‘i women’s volleyball program, looks back at four decades of coaching to tell his story along with that of the Rainbow Wahine, four-time national champions and consistently among the top-ranked teams in college sports. With the assistance of longtime beat writer Ann Miller, Shoji provides an exclusive look at the state’s perennially successful athletic team. His memoir traces the history and rise of the program—from 1975, when he was hired as a part-time coach by women’s athletic director Donnis Thompson and matches were held in the “sweatbox” of Klum Gym; through the late 1970s and the 1980s, which saw the start of the Booster Club and excitement of playing in front of sell-out crowds at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena; into the 1990s with the team’s move to its current home at the Stan Sheriff Center, attracting the sport’s largest and most devoted following; to the landmark 2013 season when Shoji became the winningest coach in NCAA history and on his way to a fortieth year with the Rainbow Wahine program. Interviews with memorable players, family, and assistant and rival coaches, together with over 100 action photos—plus twenty more in a color insert—bring back both thrilling and poignant memories of the greatest moments of Rainbow Wahine volleyball. The comprehensive yearly statistics, full player rosters, and handy index make the book a needed reference for trivia buffs. A keepsake for fans and players alike, Wahine Volleyball: 40 Years Coaching Hawai‘i’s Team will delight any sports enthusiast as well as readers who enjoy first-person remembrances of what makes Hawai‘i unique.
