It’s no secret that coaches are drawn to tall, wiry, high-jumping setters. This often leaves shorter setters in low demand. Lindsey Berg experienced this and was told repeatedly that she was (in her words), “too short, too fat, too slow and not a good enough blocker.” Fortunately, she didn’t listen. By the time she retired in 2014, the 5’8″ three-time Olympian had established herself as one of the top setters in U.S. history.
In this book, Berg splits her time between telling her story of perseverance and offering valuable instruction on how non-prototypical setters can thrive. Reading the pass, sizing up the block, bettering the ball, jump setting, footwork, hand technique, communicating, blocking big when you’re not big, delivering the right ball to the right hitter – it’s all here and more, and it’s relatable to players at every level.

About the Author: Lindsey Berg was one of the great setters in the history of USA volleyball, but she did not fit the prototype. She was told throughout her career by coach after coach that she wasn’t tall enough, wasn’t lean enough, wasn’t good enough. Turns out, none of that was even close to being true. The 5-foot-8 native of Honolulu played at powerhouse Punahou High in Hawaii, then the University of Minnesota and went on to represent the U.S. in three Olympics. She was co-captain of the 2008 team, which won a silver medal in Beijing, and captain of the 2012 team, which won a silver medal in London.
“From that point on,” she says, “I was on a mission to prove the volleyball world wrong – to prove that it’s not necessary to be tall, slim and jump high to be the best in the world.” She did just that, and she tells you how in this book. The Short Setter’s Handbook is filled with insights into what it takes mentally, physically and technically to reach your potential if you’re one of those setters who doesn’t look like a setter is “supposed to” look.
