HOW WE TEACH

There are many ways to coach. Coaching is about teaching and about motivation. First, teaching is the ability to instill knowledge and skill. Motivation is the ability to instill execution. Many coaches motivate from a stance of fear. Below the line ways to motivate others include anger, threats, guilt, and shame. These produce immediate results, but are damaging to everyone involved. Love is the most powerful motivational tool available to the dedicated coach who sincerely desires to encourage athletes to play volleyball at the highest performance level possible. Great coaches see athletes not just as they are, but who they can become. As a result these athletes become the bigger and better person the coach sees in them.

In simple terms the driving force of our philosophy is to be "difference makers". This means making a positive, often times, life changing impact on people's lives.

T=Teach
Teaching is not telling. Watching how to do a skill is not as valuable as trying the new skill. Our teaching format is to briefly show the specific skill to be taught. Break the skill into easily repeated sections. Practice those specific sections. Get into game speed and begin to try the new skill live. Athletes should be able to do the skill accurately, repeat the skill, and recognize what needs to be corrected if the skill does not accomplish its desired result.

E=Encouragement
Research shows encouragement is the best motivator. At NBC Camps we focus on what the athlete is doing well and encourage them to do more of it. Encourage actually means to build courage into someone else. Our coaches strive to give athletes the courage to believe in their potential.

C=Correction
Encouragement without correction is worthless. We work hard to correct athletes by promoting self correction. All skills are taught with ways for athletes to recognize what is going wrong and how to correct this. Once an athlete knows what is expected he or she is asked to work on self correction.
