In this episode of The VolleyPod, Tod and Davis talk about teaching the attack approach and discuss what to do when your best player has a poor work ethic, including some of the mistakes they’ve made over the years when attempting to motivate players who don’t appear to be giving their all. They share three drills that can help young athletes develop their attack approach and let listeners know about Davis’s favorite video delay tool to use in practice.
