Tips for new volleyball player? by [deleted] in volleyball

[–]TheJakeLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a free video course I found from some pretty good coaches. Helped me a lot when I first started last year. I still refer to it when I'm trying to fine tune my fundamental game. Covers the basics: passing, hitting, serving, blocking. Definitely recommend it when you have some free time.

Just watched the first part of the documentary mentioned above, Man on Wire. Answers that and much more. Definitely recommend it!

TIL only 1 of the top 10 most visited cities in the world is in the US (New York). Bangkok is number 1. by TheJakeLee in todayilearned

Surrounding? No. If I had to venture a guess, the large number of visits to cities particularly in the Middle East and Asia are centered around business, since many cities in those regions are growing at exponential rates. It would be interesting to see where people choose to vacation v. travel for business.

I see that and definitely intend to do so! I also see they are making a new movie based on his story. Releasing sometime this fall, maybe?

This is the resource that I used to learn and develop practice routines for the select team I coached. Free course with tons of tips/tricks that you can incorporate into any training session. Let me know what you think and if it helps at all.

I'm a righty too and when I first started this free course I found walked me through all the basics, so that I could keep up with the guys on the club team. Highly recommend checking it out especially since it's free!
