Increasing your scoring from the pins goes a long way towards helping your team win, so how can your team start putting up a bunch of points from the wings?
On this week's episode of The VolleyPod, Davis and Tod discuss ways to immediately impact your scoring from the pins and some longer-term principles to help you keep your scoring high all season.
Then, they explore some non-standard ways that coaches can utilize their assistant coaches in a meaningful way other than that day's fun chat.
They also share an incredibly "rich" resource, RichKern.com, that is like an encyclopedia of results, players, and schools, and much more.
In addition, they point listeners towards Britney Abercrombie's "Opposite Hitting Series" of videos from The Art of Coaching Volleyball's highly useful library. This series covers technique, tactics, and the mental approach of attacking.
