Publications

Human Kinetics is a publications company with many great coaching resources. They have multiple book/resources for our sport. 

Coaching Volleyball Champions: Principles and Practices of Successful Coaches- Ard Biesheuvel and Mary Dyck  (2010). PREFACE: This book features interviews with some of the best coaches in North America, including Canadians Garth Pischke (U of Manitoba), Laurie Eisler (U of Alberta), Terry Danyluk (U of Alberta), Doug Reimer (U of British Columbia), Richard Schick (U of British Columbia), Keith Hansen (Red Deer College) and Kevin Boyles (U of Calgary). The book also include champion coaches, Marv Dunphy (Pepperdine), Carl McGown (USA Volleyball), Al Scates (UCLA) and Jim McLaughlin (U of Washington). The coaches also provided their five favorite drills (56 in total). Hugh McCutcheon, the 2008 Olympic Gold Medal winning coach, provides the foreword. We feel this book will be a valuable resource for Canadian coaches.
