with Bond Shymansky, Georgia Tech Head Volleyball Coach; 2004 ACC Coach of the Year. Take your middle hitting and blocking to a new level! In "Gettin' Better," Gerogia Tech head coach Bond Shymansky shares more than 40 tips to help you improve your middle hitting and blocking play. Intensity, footwork, getting open for a set and always communicating with your setter are keys for middle hitters. Teaching begins with the "ready hitting position." The key is a fast exchange in which the wrist and elbow work in unison. Because of active defenders, hitting the ball in different directions is imperative for middle hitters. Directional hits include the left and right back 3-meter shot. The cross body swing, a deceptive skill against blockers at the net, and the basic tip, which includes the shallow and deep tip, are other techniques demonstrated. Techniques for the one-foot take off include the left "tempo" step and the left-right-left running motion. A middle hitter must have good transition footwork. "Dropping the Hammer" is another aspect of hitting at the net and is addressed here. Shymansky begins the blocking segment by discussing the vision sequence, which spells out each key for blocking preparation. Hand and footwork mechanics, penetrating the net, keeping the eyes open, coiled position and strong hands benefit the blocker. This incredible DVD is packed with tips and teaching points, and is a valuable tool to your middle hitting success - a must for aspiring volleyball players! -71 minutes. 2006. - Championship Productions Gettin' Better - 40 Tips for Better Middle Hitting & Blocking DVD

In this presentation, Bond Shymansky presents 40 tips that are designed to help you take your game where you want it to go! This presentation deals with two key parts of winning volleyball: Setting and defending. Being great at setting is about being great in your mind, heart and hands. Shymansky shows how proper hand positioning makes your movements tighter, more concise and efficient while allowing for touch and finesse on sets. Shymansky details a number of setting techniques, including the spin set, jump set, back & front one set, one-hand set and the peak-a-boo set. Other skills covered to develop a complete setter include footwork, targeting, attacking and rotating off and on the net. Defending is all about attitude and going after every ball on every play.

Other teaching points include the drive, 3-meter target, one step extension, floor extension, hands defense, one arm j-stroke and the pancake. Range, confidence and ball control will be the result of these defensive tips.

When your opponent takes a shot, he takes a risk by coming out of his safe position and exposes himself to be scored upon. Coach Strobel teaches his wrestlers to not just defend themselves, but put themselves in position to score. His counter offense techniques create high percentage moves that win matches. Strobel begins with six different drills to work on counter offense, including the down block, shoelace and shot/reshot drills. These drills not only fine-tune your wrestler's technique, but serve as good warm-up drills as well. He then demonstrates at least three different counter offense techniques for the single and high crotch. In addition he passes along "tricks" your wrestlers can use to score if his opponent happens to get in deep with any of those two moves. Strobel also covers how to turn double-leg defense into points. Once you get your wrestlers thinking they can score, instead of just defending themselves, their odds to score become better. 57 minutes 2002. - Championship Productions Greg Strobel High Performance Counter Offense DVD
