SCIENCE & ART APPLIED TO COACHING VOLLEYBALL

 PHYSICS – Leads to Laws & Principles, e.g.: Gravity Leverage Inertia Equal & Opposite Forces  PSYCHOLOGY – Mainly Theories & Hypotheses  MOTOR LEARNING – A “Hybrid” Science That Includes and Relies Upon Physics, Psychology, Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics, Motor Development, Motor Control, and Sport Pedagogy TRAINING ISSPECIFICTRAINING ISSPECIFIC

 “Lab” Results vs Empirical Evidence  Every Individual & Situation Is Different TURN DRILLS INTO GAMESTURN DRILLS INTO GAMES

 Learned Skills Transfer to the Game  VB “Instincts” Are Established  “Practice Makes Permanent” – so, We Need To Make The “Good” Stuff Habitual MAKE IT TRANSFERMAKE IT TRANSFER

 Stress – Adaptation  Specificity of Training  Whole vs Part; Full vs Slow Speed  Process vs Outcome  Blocked vs Random Exercises INTEGRATE TRAININGINTEGRATE TRAINING

 Volleyball-Specific Warmup  Goal Setting  Name It - Show It – Do It  Words Paint Pictures  Positive vs Negative Input  Feedback vs Feedforward  KISS - Keep It Supremely Simple PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENTPRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT

 Change Drills Into Games  Let Athletes Be Athletes  Integrate The Training  Run Continuous Games w/ Error Correction – Frequently! ASK WHY?ASK WHY?

 Constantly Ask “WHY?”  Question The Prevailing “Wisdom”  Let Sir Isaac Newton Do His Job  Keep Sci-Art Relationship In Perspective  Be A Life-long Professional Learner QUESTION THE WISDOMQUESTION THE WISDOM

 Training Is Specific  Practice Makes Permanent  Athletes Have Innate Motor Intelligence  If What You Did In Practice Doesn’t Show Up Positively In The Game, You Wasted Valuable Time KEEP LEARNINGKEEP LEARNING
