To quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Players will be a myriad of challenges, but the coach absolutely must be consistent in their program parameters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This is very similar to the advice offered by <a href=\"http:\/\/volleyballcoachingwizards.com\/volleyball-coaching-wizard-stelio-derocco\/?utm_source=CoachingVB&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=post\">Volleyball Coaching Wizard Stelio DeRocco<\/a> in his interview.

And thanks to online video, people can look at you well after the fact as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had that lesson reinforced on me over the while coaching in Sweden when I spotted myself in video from the Gran Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-facebook wp-block-embed-facebook\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/svenskvolleyboll\/videos\/1100380570014751\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s my O1 from Svedala, Mo Simmons (Clemson) being interviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, one of my former players from Exeter &#8211; a Swedish one &#8211; spotted me in the video. She didn&#8217;t realize I coached in her homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point is, you&#8217;re always on display. And who do you think watches you the most? Your players. You will be amazed at times the things they pick up and remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So give a bit of thought to what you project to your team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As was once reinforced to me, we are always on display as coaches.
