APX Positional Skills & Performance Training

Top of the morning Volleyball fam!
I just wanted to check in with everyone and get some feed back on how you approach the concept of Mental Health with your athletes.
There's a lot of great people on here so i'm excited to learn with you!
I bring up the topic because as it's common to see from Mid season to post season teams are working their tails off to catch that bids, prep for school ball, and repeat this cycle.
With that in mind, what are some ways you Check In on your players!?
Comment below! Thank you in advance

We coached at Harvard Westlake School together for the Freshmen team. I learned a lot those years about why challenging and allowing athletes to think for themselves, with guidance from us is extremely important when building better people.
All too often coaches (myself included) give so much feedback by way of telling athletes what to do versus questioning what they are doing to help them understand why... I saw more growth happen with our teams in a small period of time and it was remarkable to learn they're better off in the world because we provided challenges and guidance. Therefore, I tip my hat off to you my friend, and helping me understand more about the possibilities we have as humans to become better everyday.
Pic 2: summer clinics. I can't recall exactly where, but this group of athletes were awesome! Work ethic to the roof for each other, and their willingness to be coachable. This was back in 2015ish and I spent 5:8 hr days training, coaching, and enjoying the blessings that GMS provides us as coaches. Just want to say thank you!

Finished 2nd in pool play. Headed into Gold bracket today. After our first match we revisited that works called Discipline. Our team came to grips that no matter who you’re playing, we should play the way we train, and make discipline present in all that we do. We realized waiting to execute what we’ve been trained to do and how we display our discipline is an important factor in Volleyball and in life.
We dropped a well hard earned match against a team that came at us with heat, size, and power. We also showed that when we were disciplined in our Reading, communication, and finding gaps in their defense, we kept things real close. Therefore, the hard earned loss reminds and shows us what we are capable of doing, and that’s exciting for our team.
