I talked with our <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/coaching-log-aug-14-2015\/\">new foreign signing<\/a> the other day. Not surprisingly, she had several questions &#8211; mainly about non-volleyball stuff. I think I was actually able to answer most of them! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I found out on Tuesday that one of the clubs has been forced to withdraw from the Elitserie. This likely means the schedule will have to be completely redone about 6 weeks out from when the season was set to begin. I&#8217;m not sure how that is going to be handled.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve officially added a seventh Swedish player to the squad. She comes from another club where she was used as a utility player. I talked with her a bit during her decision-making process. She talked about wanting to be able to focus on one position &#8211; preferably not setter. We&#8217;ve already got two setters in the team, with the prospect of maybe adding a third, so that&#8217;s not an issue. At this point, odds probably favor her focusing on playing OPP, where we only have one other in the position.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of additional Swedish players still in the mix to potentially join the squad. Some decisions may not be made until September.<\/p>\n<p>On a different subject, it sounds like the club has found a place for me to live at last. There might be a significant wrinkle, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Added another Swedish player to the squad, I might finally have a place to live, and a club has dropped out of the league, forcing a schedule redo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[268,439],"class_list":["post-13136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2015-16-svedala","tag-professional-volleyball","tag-volleyball-recruiting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
