Coach Your Brains Out: Lessons On The Art And Science Of Coaching Volleyball

Great book for volleyball coaches. If you know the game and have the desire to get your players to learn quicker, this book is the one.

Coaching manual for the intellectual. Modern approaches to coaching youth sports.

Absolutely love this book! So much so that I bought 2 more for my assistants. It’s not only a great coaching book, but as a life long learner, a great book on how to learn and be better. Tremendous insight on motor learning and having a growth mindset. Also, it was great to read about Billy and John being vulnerable about there struggles early on as athletes and as coaches. Every coach in every sport can relate. Great book!

The popular and informative podcast has been mined by it's hosts for the jewels of knowledge and coaching ideas in this new, easy to read and to-the-point book. Every Club Director should be buying this for their coaching staffs and anyone in any sport looking to catch up on the newest information on culture, motor learning theory and practice design should invest in this keeper. Great job from Allen and Mayer- it's the first book a new coach should put on their shelves!

For the past several years I have been researching and taking notes on the topics in this book in hopes of improving my coaching. The authors have done a tremendous job of summarizing and, for me, clarifying the application of Dweck, Wulf, McGown, Noah, Kessel and others. I will return often to it’s pages for refreshers of the basics of coaching and teaching. Just so you know, I’ve been coaching multiple sports 7-12 since 1970.

I skimmed the book and it looks very helpful. I am, however, very disappointed with the quality of the product.

I’ve been a subscriber and have been listening to the CYBO podcast for awhile. They have great guests and take deep dives into more than X’s & O’s. They keep it fun and meaningful. I got a copy of the book when it was first released and its all the data they acquired in their podcast with the applicable methods of teaching and what sticks. So every coach in our Club gets this book as a reference guide on how to teach more than just the skills.

Very inspiring and self aware. This book helps give new perspective to coaching. I look forward to putting the advice to practice!
