This post comes from early in my second year in England.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I’m starting the Volleyball England Level 3 course<\/a>. It was supposed to run back during the first week of August. That would certainly have made things easier on my schedule, but they had to postpone. The result is that I’m going to miss several training sessions and a pair of matches for the teams I coach. If you’re a typical coach, you’ll know how much that bothers me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My coaching certification process began years ago while taking USA Volleyball’s CAP I course<\/a>. These courses naturally change and adapt over time. Based on these observations of the program these days<\/a>, though, at least some of what I learned then has stuck. In particular, these foundations are a major part of how I coach today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
