Discussion starters for the private Facebook group for Get The Pancake coaches in "Volleyball Coaches Corner."

1. Have you thought about your own coaching philosophy? How would you describe it?

2. What position(s) did you play? Do you think one position is better than the rest for head coaches to have experience in? What about assistant coaches?
