Description

Six master volleyball coaching women with experience covering different levels, across multiple countries, and with varied backgrounds share their stories on the road to success.

This book continues the Volleyball Coaching Wizards project of interviewing top coaches and sharing their insights and experiences with you, but with a new angle. Wizard Women is about women coaches, for women in coaching. While it features discussion of similar general coaching themes as the original series, it adds in discussion of the additional challenges women face in the coaching profession.

What is Volleyball Coaching Wizards?

The Volleyball Coaching Wizards project is about identifying great coaches from all categories of volleyball and making their experience, insights, and expertise available to people all over the world. We interview coaches from across the globe, all age groups, both genders, all competitive levels, indoor and beach. They share with us their philosophies, their thought processes, and their methodologies. We then share that with you.
