Summary: volleyball coaching bible
Comment: A book of this caliber with its wealth of information and knowledge is not easily surpassed. Those coaches at the junior high level that are seeking to improve their records for the sake of promotion to the high school level would do well to have a copy of this book.

Summary: Just as the title suggest
Comment: It's the v-ball coaching bible, that's for sure. In building/maintaining a program it's a big help. There's some good suggestions in there for new and old coaches, I don't know any coaches in our system without this book.

Summary: It is helpful
Comment: There are some chapters of this book that are great--they break down the skill into concise teachable parts and give drills that work on specific aspects of the drill. Then there are some chapters that don't help at all--give a vague breakdown of the skill but have no visual items or drills. Each chapter is done by a college/pro coach. This book does break down a lot of the off-court stuff--like pre-season paperwork to how to start a booster club. It also talks strategy (almost more than skills).

Summary: Great tips!
Comment: This book is worth every penny. It is written by the legends of the the game. I have read the book from cover to cover, and can still pick it up and learn something new. It has some great tips about how to motivate, communicate and teach everything about volleyball.

Summary: Great fundamentals and motivational
Comment: I have just finished this book before my club season is starting and I highly recommend it. The book applies to many areas of volleyball from youth to college/national and from men to women.

If you are looking for a beginners coaching book that outlines the skills in detail with a bunch of drills, this is NOT the book for you.

The caliber of contributors is excellent and the chapters were put together nicely...it flowed from front to back. I've played and coached for many years. I learned a few new things in this book, but I also felt like the book gave me a different perspective on areas I already knew. I will probably read/review this book prior to my club seasons.

There were a few graphics/demonstrations. There were great pics illustrating Conditioning and Stretching. There were a few sketches of attacking and digging. Jim Coleman did a nice job on Statistics.
