The Common Errors that Coaches Coach

and

Players Practice 

Being a Human Being Errors

 - and Video #10

32.     The coaching and or playing ability is based on how great of a player you keep telling others you are or were – Stop it, shut up, and do it Right!

    If you are a coach, it’s about them, not you! (being a good player has very little to do with being a good coach).

    If you are a good player, Please also be a good human being!  

33.     You demonstrate or teach very poor beach volleyball etiquette –

When you’re not playing in a ‘serious’ tournament or specifically training against better competition:

1. PLEASE - DO NOT hit or set the ball over the net on purpose on the 2^nd hit when you are receiving serve when you could have easily set the ball.

2. PLEASE - DO NOT serve and or pick-on the weaker opponent repeatedly - Stop it, respect the game, yourself and your opponents - do it Right! –

3. If there is not a referee, PLEASE CALL your violations: when you touch the net, or touch the ball on a block, or lift, carry or throw a set or dig and also when you foot fault or make any other ‘illegal’ play

4. If you have a question about what happened on a play or if whether the ball landed in or out – don’t argue about the play - REPLAY THE PLAY!

This is why: 

·       If you are better than the other team, you’ll win whether or not you play like a jerk! 

·       If you are not better than the other team, become a better player through practice and training rather than by using cheap tactics and taking advantage of beginners or recreational players.

Becoming a better player and a better human being is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than a cheap win. 

Be both the very best beach volleyball player you can be and a great human being!
