Sports Psychology – Playing Against a Weaker Team

March 4, 2010 By

Sports psychology tips for playing against a weaker team.

I am sure you watched Olympic Games on TV and saw underdog teams surprising the clear favorites.  One example of this was when the US men’s hockey team beat a clear favorite, the Canadian hockey team in the preliminary round.

How to play against a weaker team?

1. Do not take an underdog team too lightly or set expectations about who should win.

2. Always put a real effort to design a game plan or strategy.

3.  Get excited and be passionate to compete. Without intensity you are not able to focus 100% to the game, which leads to bad performance.

Also here is a video about sports psychology in squash.  Video is 8 minutes long, but I am positive you’ll get few good tips to your volleyball game from there.  The coach in the video is the squash coach for the world’s greatest squash players, so it is worth watching the video.

Volleyball Coaching – What Is Talent?

December 25, 2009 By

What is talent?

This article is not an easy read, but try to read at least the bold sentences:

“Psychologist K. Anders Ericsson strongly suggests that skill emerges out of deliberate practice rather than being born in a person.”

“Ericsson’s research suggests very strongly that what is really in short supply in the cultivation of expert performance is not initial ability, but rather expert coaching and motivation to continually develop greater skill.”

I hope this article gives motivation for the coaches and players to keep practicing.
