About this episode

Brian Singh shares insights and lessons learned from training with the Canadian Senior Men’s National Team that can be applied by coaches at any level.

This past week I had the privilege spending a week training with the Canadian Senior Men’s National Team and came away with a ton of lessons that coaches at any level can apply to their own gym. In this episode, I share: How the head coach planned each practice around player availability, injuries, load management, and practice goals How they designed drills to maximize volume, efficiency, and game-like reps Specific training ideas for serve receive, middle attacks, blocking, and 6-on-6 How they used competition and scoring systems to increase intensity How technology and a serving machine were used to replicate game speed The importance of players being prepared and warmed up well before practice What stood out most about the mindset and competitiveness of the players Practical lessons you can take from Team Canada and apply in your own gym immediately Click Here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.com Join my workshop at http://volleyballworkshop.com Reach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB
