Drills and Training Errors

 - and Video #9

30.     You care more about where the ball goes than what you did to get the ball to go there –

    THIS IS HUGE! –

    Another way of saying this is: Is what you are practicing during a drill going to CONSISTENTLY work in a game when you are playing against a good blocker and digger? Stop it and do it Right –

    Focus on the correct form, understand the techniques and give each movement of each play your full attention and effort.

    DO NOT give away the location or type of shot or hit you are going to do with major changes in your body language / body movement.

31.     You do weight training and sand workouts that may be a great work out and will get you in great shape BUT have very little to do with helping you be the very best beach volleyball player you can be – Stop it and do it Right!

    You can be in great shape but not have consistent explosive power because you have not trained your muscles correctly.

• Train to the physical and mental rhythm of the game – meaning - 80 to 90% of weight training or exercises for beach volleyball MUST directly involve: Balance; foot movement; and short duration, start, stop, explosive movements that use your entire body (feet, legs, hips, trunk, shoulders and arms) with short rests in between reps (5 to 15 seconds of exercise then 5 to 15 seconds of rest). 
• IF you work out specifically for the rhythm and movements of beach volleyball you will not only be in fantastic physical condition you will also be in fantastic physical condition to consistently be your very best when playing beach volleyball.
