VOLLEYBALL CUES YOU CAN USE!

VOLLEYBALL COACHING CUES

FOR MORE EFFICIENT PRACTICES

Coaching cues are what I used to communicate. I repeated them over and over and over again. Face your target, get set to set, turn it in, arms up, platform are a few I used in volleyball. We never stopped to talk about it, I didn’t want to waste time with “talking” during practice. I never started practice with a speech like so many coaches do.

I was loud and vocal but never yelling to berate just to yell out coaching cues and motivational stuff like “The harder you work the harder it is to lose!” “Champions are made in practice with HUSTLE!” “Your thoughts create your destiny!” “Dreams are the seeds of reality!”

And I was a cheerleader in practice rattling off cheers like, “When you mess with the best you go down like the rest…Sorry Bulldogs!” “The Falcons (or whatever team you are playing that week) think they can’t be beat, but this will be their big defeat!” “Hit em in a rut knock em on their butt…make em work eat dirt!” “Say hey hey hey…What cha got to say…I say we are awesome…awesome are we!”
