John Kessel works for USA Volleyball, as Director of Sport Development. He currently serves as the staff liaison for Disabled Programs & USA Deaflympic Teams. His main goal is to help make all coaches more efficient, positive and creative, no matter what level - 7 year olds in an elementary school program or National team players and programs. He challenges old ways of thinking and help coaches create what they need, while having fun in the process.
In this fascinating conversation we discuss...
- 'Training in reality and the quest for faster, denser motor learning
- Why drills don't work (because humans aren't robots)
- The 'white belt mentality'
- What coaches can learn from surgeons
It is a great conversation...I hope you enjoy
