This week's skill is building up decision making through 6 on 6 play. All too often 6 on 6 time appears to be a time where the coach is not actively coaching to a particular theme or concept. With just a little bit of tweaking, though, that same 6 on 6 play could be a powerful time for developing important decision making processes and habits. Tod explores this idea and offers several ways that coaches can make the most out of their time in 6 on 6.
In our scenario segment, Davis and Tod cover some of the important ways that parents can support their athlete through the tryout process, explain some common behaviors that could limit their success in tryouts, and suggest a philosophy for dealing with tryouts as a challenge unto itself, a process that is not entirely up to the athlete, and often a process that has factors that are completely unknown to the families. Parents need to check this scenario and discussion out!
We always share one great resource each week, and this week it is TJ Sanders, former Canadian National Team setter, and volleyball content creator. His content is bite-sized chunks of high level setting training. He is a great demonstrator and has a knack for communicating complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. Sanders is a member of the NoEzyBuckets content creation team, which was started by American Libero Dustin Watten. They provide clinics and online content aimed at liberos and setters, as well as college level mens volleyball fans and players.
