Concentrating on weaknesses or strengths

Here’s a question.

Do you spend most of your time improving your team’s weaknesses? Or do you focus on your strengths?

The question may come down to your priorities. Are you in a mainly developmental or mainly competitive situation? If your concentration is on development, then working on weaknesses will likely be your main focus. The question really is more aimed at competitive situations.

As coaches our natural educational inclination tends to be toward wanting to “fix” things. That may not be the best way to go, though.

This subject is the basis for one of the chapters in Volleyball Coaching Wizards – Wizard Wisdom, the second book in that series.
