Beach Volleyball Season is Just Around the Corner

Hi

Hope you have been doing very well!

The time has changed which means beach volleyball season is just around the corner - now that's good news! Day Light Savings Time is awsome!

Sorry for not posting anything new for the past month or so, I needed to focus on getting a bunch of work done on remodeling our house - now that the exterior walls have been removed and new windows put in, even though all you can see is the wood framing, it's a big improvement on what was there before - I swear we lived in the ugliest house in the neighborhood!

Anyways...I hope you've had the chance to watch the 10 part video series, "The Common Errors that Coaches Coach and Players Practice" a couple of times.

Although no Academy Awards will be handed out for the series... I don't mind patting ourselves on the back by saying there is a lot of very valuable information in each video.

So far the video that we have received the most response from is Video #10 "Human Being Errors" - seems like there might be a few other players out there who are tired of bad attitudes and less than human behavior on the court...

Since almost everyone wants to be a better hitter - please remember:

Be a better passer / bumper first

Pass the ball up to the net and almost straight in front of you

Learn and perfect a quick, short explosive balanced plant and plant jump.

Being a great hitter is about doing these things first - the best arm swing in the world is almost worthless if you don't pass the ball consistently well and have a consistent explosive plant and jump.

We are all going to make mistakes every time we play, but there is no reason to practice the mistakes during warm-ups or when doing drills.

Let us know how we can help you be your very best!

Happy Sunday!

Dan

Be Your VERY Best!
