Customer Reviews

This is a must read, especially for new coaches.

I bought Mike Hebert's book when I first took over the head coaching job at Valley High, and it's difficult to describe how much it helped me. Valley had been a losing program for nearly 2 decades, with only 2 winning seasons in school history, so I knew my work was cut out for me. I began absorbing Mike's book, knowing he had stepped into a similar situation when he stepped in as head coach at the University of Illinois.Although the book is written from a collegiate perspective, I implemented a great many of Mike's ideas, and in just 3 years, we've turned the program around. The team went from 5-20 in my first year to 14-12 this season. That may not sound like a big deal, but it's a HUGE milestone for a program that has lived in the cellar for so long.With its wealth of information on all phases of coaching, Mike's book WILL help you become a more effective coach. Believe me, I know ... first-hand!

Wonderful Book for Analyists of the Game of Volleyball

As a sophomore in high school, I have experienced an enriched sense of enthusiasm for the game of volleyball because of this book. I think that it is a delightful depiction of the sport from a creative and "insightful" point of view. Rather than discussing the traditional, technical aspects of the game, this book explores theories and adaptations through the experiences of a highly respected college volleyball coach. If you are seeking knowledge of coaching, becoming a more innovative player, or are just an avid fan of the game, this book is an asset.

Excellent for beginners in coaching!

Felt this copy gave excellent examples of coaching drills. Team work shows ability to exchange and compete in competition. Must hear more from this author. Reply for more questions. Must hear from you.

The finest volleyball teaching tool on the market

Coach Hebert has written an outstanding book detailing his entire volleyball program from both a technical standpoint and a mental standpoint. I particularily enjoyed his discussion on team building. He outlines the type of players he tries to recruit and how he can label those players to comprise a roster filled with players that fit into a cohesive unit. This book will also give you a step by step plan on how to organize and implement a winning program on any level of play. I would highly recommend this book to any coach on any level. I found it useful in my work as a college coach, juniors coach, and high school coach. I am sure that you will find it highly useful to your program.
