Your focus
The most coachable athletes welcome video review because they see it as information, not criticism. Learning to evaluate your own technique objectively , then immediately taking the court to address what you saw , closes the gap between knowing and doing. This is the same process used in high-level college and professional volleyball programs.
Record a player performing a skill (serve, attack, or pass) for 10 consecutive reps.
Player watches the footage alone or with the coach, identifying 2-3 specific areas to improve.
Player writes their corrections on a notepad before the coach says anything.
Coach and player compare observations, discuss agreements and disagreements respectfully.
Player takes the space and performs 10 more reps, consciously applying identified corrections. Compare before/after percentages.
Helpful cues
- What do you see? Start there, not with what I see
- Disagreeing with feedback is okay, dismissing it without trying is not
