Discussing "Club Team Tryouts", Dr. Cannell uses the analogy of timeshare sales pressure. What concerns are raised about the increasing trend of early signing deadlines and recruitment practices in amateur sports?

Internet Volleyball Brat - Part 11
Focusing on the Coach's Voice. Dr. Cannell shares his approach of setting a high bar and letting players know when they aren't applying themselves. Why is it suggested that a team is more of a dictatorship with the coach as the dictator during practice time? Let's explore the importance of a coach evaluating their own approach and using effective, action-directed comments rather than belittling ones. How can the coach-player relationship become powerful when built on respect and common goals

"Winning Matters" Dr. Cannell challenges the idea of a non-competitive, "everyone gets a ribbon" society. What is his core argument against this approach in organised sports? How does he distinguish between organised and non-organised sport regarding the importance of winning? And why does he stress that failing is often more valuable than winning when it comes to learning and growth.

How does he compare the instant gratification of the internet and digital games to the feedback and challenges in real sports? What are the similarities he notes between good game design and a good coaching approach? And how does the observation about players potentially lacking basic movement skills compared to pre-internet players offer a suggestion for modern coaching practices

Internet Volleyball Brats - Part 1
Looking at the initial thoughts from Dr. Cannell about how today's youth, sometimes referred to as "internet brats," have changed compared to 30 years ago. What are the specific generalisations made about this generation (lacking fitness, respect, attention span, etc.), and how might these perceptions impact a coach's initial approach? Let's discuss the core idea that the internet age has altered behaviour and whether a coach's approach must change.

Next Step: I suggest you encourage the athletes you are working with to film their hitting and review it with a coach to identify specific areas in their technique (approach, timing, arm swing, contact point) that they can focus on to generate more power. Additionally, incorporating strength training exercises that target the legs, core, and shoulder muscles would be a beneficial next step in their development.
