THE book to improve your skills and knowledge
Reviewer: A reader from Israel
This book was designed for one purpose: Making you a better volleyball player. It succeeds. Any typical player will be amazed to find how many errors he's doing (most of which were taught by his admired coach), what effect they have on the play, and how easily they can be corrected. It is very concise, and can follow the player for years to come, as a reference to check and readjust the play over time. Buy this, and you probably won't need any other volleyball book (Amazon will hate me for writing this :-) ).

Outstanding step by step instruction
Reviewer: A reader from USA
Illustrative action photos show you the "how to" in volleyball: blocking, spiking, serving, floor defense, setting, passing. The definitive guide for coaches to explain and break down the various skills associated with championship volleyball.

Incredible
Reviewer: A reader from Ann Arbor, MI
First, a disclaimer, I'm a beginning volleyball player. This book is incredible. Covers all of the basic skills, common mistakes, and systems of play. Covers offensive and defensive play for total beginning levels (i.e. can't spike or pass too well) to advanced skills. Excellent drawings of all the basic skills. Basic skills section is 170 pages long! But great for advanced players too, since advanced offense and defense sections are 150 pages long! I was pleasantly surprised by gender neutral, yet still grammatically correct language-uses he, him, and her for singular person (correct) and doesn't fall into the trap of using "them" or "they" (incorrect). Book does not cover too much about drills or conditioning, so look elsewhere for those things. I only wish I had known about this book sooner.

Synopsis
Using this book, coaches at every level of experience can learn how to apply winning tactics and teaching methods to help their own high school and college players perform better and enjoy the sport more. "Science of Coaching Volleyball" aims to make complex sport science principles easy to understand and adapt to everyday coaching situations. The editor, Carl McGown has participated in every aspect of volleyball - as a player at all levels and as a coach. For this book, he enlists the expertise of contributors, who are not only leaders in their respective fields but who have successfully applied the sport sciences to their work with volleyball teams. Providing practical information for improving coaching skills based on knowledge from motor learning, sport psychology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, sports medicine and nutrition, each chapter explains why a particular sport science is important and provides specific applications to volleyball training and technique. The specific techniques should enable coaches to: motivate players; teach proper positioning for basic volleyball techniques, including blocking, spiking, serving and defense; integrate the latest training concepts into practices and drills; teach player positioning skills for improved speed and accuracy; offer feedback to players; teach new skills effectively; help prevent and treat injuries; and help players develop better eating habits for improved performance.

GOOD PLACE TO START.
Reviewer: A reader from Toronto, Canada
This book has a lot of good basic drill for the technical game of volleyball. I must say, for the coach that does not have a lot of drill tucked away in his/her head, this book is a definite asset. It has a lot of good solid drills that would help any coach. I would have like to have seen some more technical drill, but on the other hand, if your team can handle all of the drills provided, your doing alright.. Well worth the money.. Thanks
