Volleyball has evolved over the years, but there are still players who fondly remember the old school days of sideout scoring. These were competitions that could last from 8 a.m. to 4 a.m. the next day, where getting a point only when you served meant the score could be 0-0 for 10 minutes. Despite the changes in the game, some players still choose to play by these “old school” rules.
However, it seems that not all coaches have adapted to the changes in the sport. Many coaches rely on outdated teaching methods, believing that their own experience as players or mere observation of the game is enough to make them good coaches. This mindset was compared to a doctor practicing medicine the same way they did 10 years ago – a recipe for malpractice.

To be a coach means more than just shouting instructions from the sideline. It means safely guiding valuable cargo – the athletes – from one place to another. Coaches should be aware of organizations like the U.S. Center for SafeSport (safesport.org), which promotes safety in sports for athletes, coaches, and parents.
Being a good coach goes beyond having players who already love the game and are committed. It’s about developing each player, especially the weakest link, and helping them excel. It’s about fostering a love for the game and empowering players to find their own answers. It’s about building strong relationships with the athletes.
