U.C.L.A. head coach, Mick Cronin, talking about his team beliefs. It’s important to know what you believe as well as what you don’t believe as a team. I’m a huge fan of externalizing (writing them down) values and beliefs for everyone to see. Everyone has a better chance of remaining in alignment and integrity when the direction and stated goals are clear. @uclambb
Great Volleyball Quotes and Advice For New Coaches On Asking Your Players More Questions Before Assuming They Don't Have Any Answers
Love how coach asks questions...instead of assuming the player does know or doesn't know what the subject matter is
.
✔️Important to find out how players make their decisions
✔️Can’t always assume you know what they’re thinking and why .. best to ask.. some intentions are correct but execution can be improved upon
✔️great way to find out if they’ve been listening to you

Great Volleyball Quotes and Advice For New Coaches On Helping Your Athletes Learn How To Process Anxiety
Spring is here, Summer is around the corner .. what can you be doing to prep your mental😳😜😳for next season? 👇🏾

Repost @lorrine.headrick
Athletes- anxiety doesn’t mean anything has gone wrong.
There’s beauty when we shine because we know who we are without all the labels.
What if your anxiety wasn’t a hinderance but instead a part of your growth?
Here’s the number one tip to processing Anxiety.
Know it’s not your enemy. It doesn’t mean anything has gone wrong or that you are.
Then you can acknowledge it’s a mix of emotions and process through them instead of avoiding them in fear.
You will grow and move forward.
It will get easier.
You will be able to think more clearly and develop who you are.
You will gain confidence in your sport, relationships, performance and school.
You won’t be immune to hard times - but you will have the tools to deal with them better.
I may have cried watching this reel a few times because as a mum I see the beauty of my daughter looking happy without barriers of who she “should” be, she knows who she is. I see a confident human being without relying on the label of athlete to give her value anymore.
Life is 50/50
Filled with the hard, easy, beautiful and in between.
Summer is here- your sport may be on a slight hold. Seize this opportunity and join a community to learn how to overcome self defeat and grow from it.

Great Volleyball Quotes and Advice For New Coaches On Being 100% Present And In Support Of Your Players

At the World Championships in Budapest, USA’s Anita Alvarez sank to the bottom of the pool.
Looking across the deck, and noticing she was under way too long, her coach, Andrea Fuentes immediately dove in after her fully clothed, pulling her to safety. Anita was unconscious and didn’t have the capacity to kick, paddle, or help herself in any way.
If Andrea would not have noticed, she would have drown.
But she knew Anita. She looked for her, quickly noticed she was under too long, then dove in without thinking twice.
This has resonated with me….
When you are under too long, who are the people that will look for you, notice, and dive in to pull you to the surface when you lose your strength to swim?
Who are the people that would do that for you?
And can someone count on you to be that person that would go looking and notice when they are under too long, diving in to support them when they are all out of fight and fuel to swim in these turbulent waters we call life?

Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.
If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
