I remember well last year the NCAA football bowl series. A particular program
had violated NCAA rules and the consequence was that some of their star players were suspended.
However, those players’ suspensions wouldn’t be served until the following this year because the powers that be wanted to have a good bowl game.
So often we want to spare people from consequence. Consequently, people don’t learn from their mistakes.
This can be true for coaches as well.
As coaches we cannot fall into this trap.
We must remember that often we learn more from our mistakes than we do our successes.
Someone once described the path of wisdom this way, “Wisdom is the path paved

If we coach players by telling them what not to do (speaking in the negative), we are unconsciously reinforcing bad behavior. If players keep hearing, “Don’t do this. Stop doing that.” We are actually creating more work for ourselves. It is always harder to teach a person to unlearn wrong

In order to become a successful team, volleyball drills have to be run on a constant basis. More than this however, the drills have to be good drills, done properly, or they will accomplish nothing that will help the game in the long run. A good way to ensure that drills are being run properly is to introduce a volleyball drill evaluation to the team. There are many strategies to this, but a really good one is a two-tiered system. This would ideally be accomplished by the coach evaluating the drill, and each player evaluating his or herself.
