THERE ARE PLENTY OF DRILL BOOKS. THIS Book'S DIFFERENT.
Most volleyball books will tell you how to run a butterfly drill. This one tells you everything else: what to say when a parent confronts you after a game, how to structure a practice that actually sticks, what to do when your best player is also your biggest problem.
Written specifically for new coaches, Coaching Volleyball: A Survival Guide for Your First Season covers the real work of coaching, from tryouts to the awards banquet and everything in between.
Available as Kindle ebook and paperback. Affiliate link: your price doesn't change.
