How can you win more matches? Build a stronger, more powerful team.
Volleyball players who participate in performance training are physically stronger, so they’re able to generate more power at greater speeds. This leads to jumping higher, hitting harder and digging and blocking more balls. Athletes also sustain fewer injuries because they have better balance and stronger joints. This means you’ll have a healthier team that can perform at a high level all season long.
In this certification, you’ll get an introduction to the basics of sports performance training along with key exercise science and joint mobility concepts. You’ll also learn about muscle activation, dynamic movement, and cardiovascular training, plus tips for speeding up the recovery process and preventing injuries. Start training with Matt today!

Great stuff.
This is a very thorough course which keeps one foot in the technical rhelm for the advanced coach and one foot in the layman’s rhelm for the beginner coach trying to better their team or club.
Strengthens my Weakest Part of my Coaching
I hear pieces parts of strength and conditioning and not sure if information is correct. The course explains the methods in such away I can digest the information and I go over topics many times to fully understand the reasoning. Due to construction in our school the weight room was not available for our volleyball program. Now the gym is my workout and the players really enjoy the circuit training in the gym!
Sports Performance Certification
Basic concepts covered with lots of examples on dynamic warm-up and activation drills. Would be better if there are more information on specific gym programs to target volleyball specific outcomes like increase vertical jump, increase spiking power etc.
GREAT FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPING A PROGRAM
Lots of great foundational information for developing a program. As one review suggested, a next step might be specific exercises to develop specific skills needed in volleyball. Matt communicates well and provides reasoning to support every suggestion he offers.
Great Course
