Yesterday, I had the privilege of witnessing an act of courage seldom seen in today’s sports. It not only was an example of good sportsmanship but of courage of standing up for what is right and for doing the right thing, no matter the cost.

This story starts last year...

Nutrition for Volleyball Players

January 19, 2010

Hutch

It’s been a long time since those days when the coach told you that drinking during workouts was for sissies. Remember how they used to chastise you if you complained of thirst after only 2 hours of practice? And, oh those salt cubes. I made a feeble attempt at wrestli...

The Tryout

October 28, 2009

Hutch

We are now to that part of the volleyball season when tryouts begin. In many cases, THE TRYOUT is harder on the parents than the player. If it seems that the clubs all have their tryouts at the same time, well, they do and it’s on purpose. The thinking of these clubs i...

To Yell or Not To Yell; That is the Question

March 25, 2008

Hutch

Have you ever heard a parent say that, “Coach X is a good coach. She gets in the player’s face and yells at them if they make a mistake.”? Why do people believe that yelling is the answer or that it is the trademark of a good coach? I am aware of one coach who has told...
