Coach Your Brains Out: Lessons On The Art And Science Of Coaching Volleyball

by John Mayer, Billy Allen

Overview

The Coach Your Brains Out podcast is now a book!

Compiled from firsthand experience and years of interviews with the top minds in volleyball and beyond, the CYBO Crew has created an amazing resource for anyone looking to improve their coaching. This helpful guide covers a variety of topics with chapters on: Coaching Philosophy and Principles, Mindset, Motor Learning, Feedback, Practice, Competition, Leadership, and Culture.

The book discusses coaching both indoor and beach volleyball, but its lessons on learning are universal and can be applied to any sport and level. These insights have been pivotal to our development as coaches and players. We hope you enjoy the lessons within and use these tools to Coach Your Brains Out this season!

"An awesome resource for any leader!" -Lucas Jadin, Train To Be Clutch

"The book really makes the research more understandable, which helps coaches actually use and apply it!" -Trevor Ragan, Train Ugly

"In addition to expansive knowledge, your writing is a model of authenticity and vulnerability, as both leaders and learners." -Lorraine Davies, Mindset Mastery

"You have something that will make lots of people better. I definitely got 2% better reading this book!" -Tom Black, University of Georgia Volleyball

"What I love is how the CYBO founders embrace "Ancora Imparo" - always learning; that if you teach others something - you learn it better yourself; and that we are in the process - not the outcome -- of a competition which is more about learning and less about athletics." -John Kessel, Director of Sport Development, USA Volleyball and World ParaVolley
