Ep. 47 - Can You Teach Players to COMPETE?

Young players are always being told to COMPETE more, to be more aggressive on the court, and - well - to just stop tolerating losing or having the ball hit the floor so often.  But can a coach, parent, or even the player themselves actually work to raise the level of ‘COMPETE’ or drive a player will feel?  IS it something hardwired into the athlete (i.e. genetic) or is it something that can be learned through training, coaching, and repetition?  Listen in as the guys discuss the qualities of a truly competitive player (i.e. how ‘competing’ actually looks on the court) and how coaches and parents can best facilitate or foster its growth in young athletes. ------------------ We hope you enjoy this podcast & all the FREE content created by the former pro players, coaches - and current volleyball parents - at VOLLEYBALLOGY.  Help support our mission to provide FREE & ACCESSIBLE high-quality content for players, coaches, & families (of varied socioeconomic backgrounds all over the world) by visiting www.volleyballogy.org - or donate what you can today to help us fund future projects.  Thanks for listening/watching!
