This week's skill is raising player volleyball IQ. An all too common statement from coaches after losses is "if only we had more volleyball IQ". This episode answers the question that we all want to know, how do we as coaches develop this critical set of skills in our players. Tod and Davis define volleyball IQ, point out it's many uses, and share ideas for how to train it in your athletes.
In our scenario segment, Davis and Tod discuss the art and science of evaluating players at tryouts. When it is obvious, evaluating players is easy. When it is much closer, however, it can become very challenging to discern who has traits that would make a great choice for your team. On this week's scenario we go over some things to look for as well as some traits that might not tell the whole truth about a player's talents.
We always share one great resource each week, and this week it is Beach Volleyball World on Youtube. This channel is dedicated to the world of International level beach volleyball. With a main focus on men's and women's play on the FIVB tour, the channel serves up full matches as well as cool collections of interesting plays (like skyballs or option plays, etc.). Check it out and learn more about how the pros play.
