This week's skill is how and why to create a safer environment in your gym. This segment provides a wide range of ideas about little things that coaches can do to promote their athletes' health and prevent some of the most common injuries. Our hope is to promote some discussion about what can be done to keep our athletes playing their best volleyball more.
Our scenario segment is about when your team needs to do team bonding but you don't want to do a ropes course. By that, we mean that we want a more generic binding scenario that encourages continual growth and genuine interest in one another. There is nothing wrong with doing a ropes course, but Tod and Davis favor a more consistent process instead of a one off experience. Tod explains some ways to get this to happen generically.
For our resource section we share an interesting research article that discusses how often and what types of injuries that high school volleyball players experience. This experiment looked at over 2000 high school girls' volleyball players and found that ankle and knee injuries were the most common types of injuries with finger and wrist being the next most common. There are some other great insights that coaches can get from reading this informative article.
