As much as it is important to be locked in and focused on getting better at volleyball, the process should also be fun and enjoyable! I’ve been to many lessons myself as a kid where I struggled to enjoy what I was working on. For this reason, I believe there should be a healthy balance between putting in hard work but still having a good time competing in drills or trying new things. I will always listen and be open to suggestions on what an athlete wants to focus on, and how we can work on those skills by getting creative through unique drills! The most valuable thing is that an athlete feels the improvements they’re making and has their goals understood from a trainer.
