Vol. 1, No. 3 - Nov. 27, 2012
VIDEOSTaylor Mali, a slam poet, has over a dozen videos on teaching, totaling many millions of views. Our favor-ite, in which you simply substitute the word coach for teacher, is called “What do Teachers Make?” and can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/QoCavj
Think that “pepper” teaches good ball control? – Check out these two videos on how hard it is to pep-per - http://bit.ly/U1xSpx and what real ball control is about at http://bit.ly/Sc08Z9 - then see the “Hid-den Gems” section below that gives solutions to getting your athletes to have a more effective defensive habit to have. ARTICLESThe International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), which USA Volleyball was one of 12 founding members back in 1948, now has some 220 National Federations. The FIVB just released two great full magazines on the 2012 Olympic Games. The publications can be found at these links:

Scientific American recently produced an entire issue on the science of genius, with articles of value for coaches: http://bit.ly/QoCnP3
BOOK/MOVIE SUGGESTIONS“Mindset: The New Psychology of Success”, written by Carol Dweck, is an important read for any coach or parent. She notes how you’ll reach new heights if you learn to embrace the occasional tumble. If you don’t get the book, you can email [email protected] and we will send you a USOC article covering this impor-tant information which was shared in Olympic Coach in 2009. Stanford Magazine synopsis of Mindset: http://stanford.io/UWczZl
TECHNOLOGY TIPS Sportalyzer (http://bit.ly/117Tuqp) is a new sport analyzing program worth a look in studying movement in any sport, including volleyball. In sharing this info with the U.S. Olympic Committee earlier this month, USOC Sport Performance Director Peter Vint also noted that Dartfish’s new iOS system is pretty easy to use for a smart device app, which can be found here: http://bit.ly/Y27rbH
Hidden Gems The tradition of pepper is a powerful one, but better options exist than one that teaches hitters to spike right at a defender, and the defender to be skilled at digging back to a spiker. Check out “The Evolution of Pepper” - http://bit.ly/TrW8pi - which has also recently been translated both into Spanish and Japanese.
