When Title IX was enacted in 1972, the University of Nebraska volleyball program, like many across the country, received a fraction of the funding and attention given to the school's mighty football program. The players had to organize a run from Lincoln to Omaha to raise money for uniforms. The women were asked to wait their turn to use the weight room. Today the Nebraska women's volleyball team is one of the sport's most decorated programs--with more career wins than any other program and five NCAA National Championships--and draws standing-room-only crowds at home games in the 8,000-seat Devaney Center.

Nebraska Volleyball is the first book to recount how volleyball took hold at Nebraska, through Pat Sullivan, the team's first coach; through such early figures as Cathy Noth, a decorated player and later an assistant coach into the 1990s; through Terry Pettit, who coached the team for twenty-three seasons and led it to its first National Championship in 1995; and through John Cook, who took over as head coach in 2000. John Mabry highlights the small Nebraska towns that have sent some of the best players to the program and helped build statewide support for the team. Public television helped too, with its power to broadcast games early on and thus build a following across the state.

The success of Nebraska's volleyball program is one of the greatest stories in sports. As Karch Kiraly, head coach for the U.S. National Women's Volleyball Team, said: If you want to learn about women's college volleyball, your first stop has to be Lincoln, Nebraska.

Learning to play volleyball has never been more effective--or more fun--than with Volleyball Fundamentals, Second Edition. Parents, coaches, and instructors of volleyball skill courses will immediately benefit from the solid foundational information and practical tips on how to teach every aspect of the sport. Players will enjoy using this resource because they will learn by doing--spending less time reading and more time engaged in playing the game.

Volleyball Fundamentals begins by teaching the basics that get players ready to take the court. The book covers positioning and the importance of reading the opposing players, communicating with teammates, and preparing for movement on the court. The guidance on formations and rotations will help students get an immediate sense of where they belong on the court. Clear instructions, accompanied by illustrations, for drills help players master specific skills such as serving, receiving a serve, setting, attacking, blocking, and digging. Each skill is introduced through a simple four-step sequence:

- You Can Do It: The skill is introduced with sequential instructions and accompanying photographs.

- More to Choose and Use: Variations and extensions of the primary skill are covered.

- Take It to the Court: Readers learn how to apply the skill in game play.

- Give It a Go: These sections provide direct experiences--such as drills, small-sided games, and six-versus-six gamelike activities--for the reader to use to gauge, develop, and hone the skill.

Throughout the book, teaching cues offer advice for avoiding common mistakes. New to this edition is a chapter on how to effectively use the libero position (defensive specialist) in game play. Sections on offensive and defensive tactics, scoring systems, rules, and modified games have also been updated to make the game as easy for you to teach as it is for your students to learn.

As part of the Sports Fundamentals Series, Volleyball Fundamentals will help you teach the basic skills and tactics of the game so that your players can compete on the court in no time at all.

The Only One that Can Stop You is You

You have to be Mentally Tough

But what exactly do those sayings mean Without something concrete, it's difficult for players to understand what it specifically takes to have a mental approach primed for success.

And rather than have a debate with someone who knows nothing about mental training or sports psychology... or read about theories and mental hacks that may or may not work off some random website...why not use a detailed, interactive, and engaging workbook that shows and teaches athletes how specific Sports Psychology concepts directly impact their performance on the volleyball court?

That's exactly what you've found here

Through 10 Dynamic Exercises... we take athlete's on a journey through the Most debilitating Mental and Emotional Obstacles faced by the Vast Majority of Competitors including:

-Overcoming Serious and Debilitating Injuries

-Zero Formal Education of Necessary Mental Skills such as Mental Imagery and Self-Talk

-Playing without Confidence

-Not Being Able to Focus when it Matters Most

When Athletes Suffer and become Victim to one or multiple issues mentioned above...it becomes Incredibly Difficult for them to maintain a positive frame of mind not only in sports but in life in general. And unfortunately in society today all athletes are under the spot light as they are judged by many of their friends, family, and peers by the level of success they have on the court, which makes it absolutely crucial for athletes to be mentally tough and resilient.

Choking Under Pressure During Crucial Moments of a Game, Sitting on the Bench Game after Game despite All your Hard Work and Effort, Becoming accustomed to Losing Over and Over, not Stepping Up when the team Needs it Most, and being Unable to see any Progress toward Improving and Reaching Success can be EXTREMELY PAINFUL, DISAPPOINTING, and DISCOURAGING.
