About the Author:
Seven hundred college wins is reason enough to listen to what Stephanie Schleuder has to say about training the mind for volleyball, but her credentials run deeper. In a career in which she served as head volleyball coach at the University of Minnesota, University of Alabama and Macalester College and was also president of the American Volleyball Coaches Association, Schleuder never just accepted that the way to do something is the way you’ve always done it. She tweaked and refined and reshaped her philosophy so she could grow as a coach while her athletes grew as volleyball players.
In “Brain Training for Volleyball,” Schleuder shares methods that have consistently worked for her in practice after practice, match after match, season after season. She covers teaching leadership, building trust, defeating distractions, encouraging a higher level of focus, coaching captains and much more. It’s a great read, and it’s also a valuable resource for coaches seeking ways to be better prepared for the upcoming season than they were for the previous season.

It was like taking a journey down your own path, with a crystal ball! I not only was able to implement some of the material immediately, I also recognized “mistakes” I have made. This book will be read many times as I continue to coach, along with notes in the margins along the way!

I have used different activities from this book and think it gives a great insight to the things players need to learn off the court to be successful on the court that is not related to the actual skill of volleyball. Some of the article sections were online already, but this goes into more detail and is an easy read to have in one place to go back to whenever you may need it.

Amazing book. Every young athlete needs brain training whether you think they do or not. Even if it’s not used in volleyball, they will use it somewhere down the line.
