I have this problem.
It keeps others from developing and reaching their full potential. It keeps people from becoming responsible.
It appears on the surface to be something that is caring and helpful but is a problem that is extremely harmful to you and others.
It makes practices run smoother and players usually don’t mind when my problem “helps” them out.
When I let my problem take care of things, I end up tired and exhausted while others seem to have no cares or worries. Most times, my problem affects only me (I think) and leaves me frustrated thinking or saying things like:
“Why doesn’t anyone put their things away?”
“Why am I the only one picking

We’ve all seen it. Your best server is up with the game on the line. They look at the score. Net serve. We’ve all been there. The match is tied at 1-1. The third game has gone back and forth. Tension and pressure mount as the game gets closer and closer to
match point. You are down by one and if you net serve or serve out of bounds, your opponent wins.
Or, you will win with the next point and a bad serve will tie the game. Or, you’re tempted to hold back as a hitter because you want to play it safe. Talk about pressure.

But, throwing some cool Team Building Activities into the mix are not only FUN, they’re also valuable in strengthening teamwork, trust and communication between players.
And, all these are “MUST-HAVE” qualities for a good team!

For any team, no matter what the sport, practice is not fun. No matter what kind of fun you put in your volleyball drills, the fact of the matter is that they still involve a lot of practice, and are just plain hard work. Like any sport that requires conditioning, after the first few weeks of practices, you will find out who is really there to play. These first few weeks are generally considered the conditioning weeks. Volleyball drills and conditioning go hand in hand. It is hard for your team to understand exactly what the reason behind this conditioning is.

In order to create a strong team you need to look at the team as a whole. Truthfully figure out where there are weak areas and think of ways to improve them.
As a coach, part of your job is to find those areas of weakness. Sometimes it helps to have an impartial observer to also find areas that are lacking.
Analysis of a team requires someone who will be honest about what the team is lacking. It is a good idea to ask someone that hasn’t invested all of their time and effort into training. This person is impartial and will have a better chance of being entirely honest when it comes to the weak areas of the team.
They will be able to see what team members need to work on particular skills or which team members
