Get The Pancake: A Podcast For Volleyball Coaches

Identify what might be holding your team back from communicating... and learn what you can do about it! See the Show Notes on www.getthepancake.com for links mentioned in this episode: www.getthepancake.com/volleyball-podcast-episodes/67-communication

Contrary to popular belief, coaching volleyball is about more than just running good drills. In fact, a lot of your success as a coach is based on what happens OFF the court. Team bonding activities, being organized, and communicating well with parents… these are the things that truly make a difference. And this podcast is all about advice for volleyball coaches, sharing new ideas, and bringing on guests who offer new perspectives. I hope you enjoy the podcast and want to be the first to say, “welcome” to the Get The Pancake community.

Anytime we're separated from our athletes (vacation, breaks, or mandated lockdowns), we're not able to coach them, right? ...WRONG! With just a few free apps, you're able to work with athletes anywhere, anytime. Listen to today's episode to get the full details on how I remotely work with players to provide them with helpful feedback digitally, while also boosting my coaching income (totally optional) in the process. —————— RESOURCES TO GET STARTED —————— 👥 Join the "Volleyball coaches Corner" closed Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/322963254922796/?source_id=177732259309891 🥞 See what I'm offering on www.getthepancake.com: https://getthepancake.com/products/online-volleyball-lesson 🔴 Record your screen (if unable to download the video sent to you) with "Record It!": https://apps.apple.com/us/app/record-it-screen-recorder/id1245356545 🏆 Record your analysis with "Coach's Eye": https://apps.apple.com/us/app/coachs-eye-video-analysis/id472006138 🎬 Edit your analysis with "Videoleap": https://apps.apple.com/us/app/enlight-videoleap-video-editor/id1255135442 📲 Upload your analysis to YouTube (if your file is too large to text/email): www.youtube.com  ✅ Receive payment with the "Cash App," "Venmo," or "Paypal": https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cash-app/id711923939 | https://apps.apple.com/us/app/venmo/id351727428 | https://apps.apple.com/us/app/paypal-mobile-cash/id283646709 —————— READ THE LATEST ARTICLE ON WWW.GETTHEPANCAKE.COM! —————— Training Difference Between Middle School and High School Volleyball Players: By David Hardy, Volleyball Trainer: https://getthepancake.com/drills-and-tips/training-middle-school-high-school-volleyball —————— LET’S GET SOCIAL! —————— Website: https://getthepancake.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getthepancake/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getthepancake/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/getthepancake/

I get asked this question ALL. THE. TIME. And I'm not surprised! Being on a volleyball team means facing challenges day after day with individuals you may or may not get along with. This is tough for most adults I know, let alone teen and preteen athletes. In this episode, I'll walk you three types of "interventions" you can use when your volleyball team doesn't get along. This moves from easiest to implement to the more challenging ways to deal with conflict. At the end of this episode, you should have one or two new tactics to help your volleyball team get along at your next practice. —————— LINKS AND RESOURCES —————— Private Facebook Group "Volleyball Coaches Corner": https://www.facebook.com/groups/322963254922796/ [BOOK] “Coaching Volleyball: A Survival Guide For Your First Season”: https://amzn.to/2Q2ODYa Mandating High-Fives Study (Discussed in Episode 23 of the Get The Pancake Podcast): https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/3459794/kraus.touch.2010.pdf?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DTactile_communication_cooperation_and_pe.pdf&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A%2F20190923%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20190923T183052Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=cce1d321f8576bd589550912c2fd2adced630bdcc20a8f21793fd4642d99b397 Team Cohesion and Team Success in Sport: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/026404102317200828?src=recsys Team Bonding Activity "Common Enemy" (Discussed in Episode 20 of the Get The Pancake Podcast): https://getthepancake.com/products/volleyball-team-bonding-common-enemy Team Building Through Team Goal Setting: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10413209708415386?src=recsys Volleyball Goal Setting Packet (Discussed in Episode 8 of the Get The Pancake Podcast): https://getthepancake.com/products/volleyball-season-goals-worksheets Episode 18: Cut The "C" Players (Apple Podcasts Link): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-the-pancake-a-podcast-for-volleyball-coaches/id1455984211?i=1000445488348 —————— LET’S GET SOCIAL! —————— Website: https://getthepancake.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getthepancake/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getthepancake/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/getthepancake/

Are you a new volleyball coach who is trying to understand the positions on a volleyball team? Are you trying to place players in positions but don't know where to start when looking at your roster? Let me help! Keep in mind... this information is highly generalized and more for younger and newer teams. I hope this provides you with guidance but if you disagree with anything I highly encourage you to do what you think is best for your team! There have been plenty of times I myself have gone against the general advice provided in this episode, simply because it didn't work with the roster I had that season. I wish you good luck, and if you'd like to discuss further I encourage you to join the Volleyball Coaches Corner group on Facebook where you can talk to other volleyball coaches across the world! —————— Support the podcast: https://anchor.fm/getthepancake/support ----------- LINKS ----------- Volleyball Coaches Corner: https://www.facebook.com/groups/322963254922796/ Get The Pancake: www.getthepancake.com

I thought this week I'd go more "motivational" and share a very small portion of one of the most influential books on my own personal coaching career.  John Wooden was an astonishing basketball coach who achieved much during his long career, and I've always found his style, values, and teachings to be motivational, no matter what situation I was in. Let me share two building blocks of his infamous "Pyramid of Success" with you in this week's episode. ----------- LINKS ----------- Affiliate link to "Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success" (the exact copy I own.

On todays episode, I read you the article "Coaching Anxious Players: 5 Steps To Confident Athletes" from www.getthepancake.com. If you have a player (or two) on your team who seems to freeze up or look to you for support when you are not expecting it, they might be feeling anxious in the moment. I give you 5 steps to follow in order to help them feel more confident in themselves and their actions, leading to athletes who don't hesitate on the court. *Disclaimer: I’m going to discuss coaching players who are ANXIOUS, not players who have been diagnosed with anxiety. I am not a sports psychologist. Just an experienced coach who is sharing tips to try to help you coach through a growing trend I’ve noticed among volleyball athletes in the past 2-3 years. ------------ LINKS ------------ "Volleyball Coaches Corner" closed Facebook group - Get The Pancake community.
