Description

Coaching volleyball isn’t just about systems, rotations, and physical skill—it’s about managing the mental and emotional intensity of a sport where momentum swings instantly and one mistake can turn into many if an athlete can’t reset.

Over the past 40 years, Dr. G has helped volleyball teams, clubs, and coaches understand exactly why players crumble under pressure, lose to weaker opponents, get stuck in slumps, or can’t translate their practice performance into games. His mental-training frameworks have supported thousands of athletes in developing confidence, resilience, and the ability to perform consistently—even in high-pressure matches.

Together with Sara Vatore’s expertise in nervous system regulation and somatic performance, this package gives coaches a cutting-edge understanding of what’s actually happening inside an athlete’s body when they tighten, hesitate, lose confidence, or mentally spiral after errors—and teaches you how to build training environments where athletes stay composed, focused, and mentally tough.

The Volleyball Coaches Package gives you the tools to develop athletes who rebound quickly, stay mentally present, handle pressure with poise, and compete with confidence at every level.

What You’ll Learn

With the Volleyball Coaches Package, you’ll learn how to:

Coach the Mental and Physiological Sides of Volleyball

Understand the real causes of performance breakdowns, hesitation, and momentum loss
Train athletes to manage nerves, frustration, and emotional swings
Teach players how to reset quickly after mistakes and avoid snowballing errors
Integrate mental toughness into everyday practice—not just game day

Develop Confident, Resilient Volleyball Players

Build long-term confidence and internal belief, even in inconsistent athletes
Strengthen emotional regulation during chaotic points and high-pressure situations
Help players rebound from errors, tough sets, or off games
Coach athletes through perfectionism, fear of disappointing others, and self-doubt

Communicate Like a High-Performance Volleyball Coach

Use language and timing that supports your athletes’ execution
Reduce overwhelm during time-outs, between points, and after mistakes
Learn how to steady your own nervous system so your presence calms the team
Work effectively with parents so they reinforce, not undo, your coaching

Build a High-Trust, High-Performance Team Culture

Create an environment where athletes feel safe taking risks and growing
Reduce comparison, pressure, and internal team drama
Establish mental routines that hold up under pressure
Align athletes, coaches, and parents around what true competitive excellence requires

The Bottom Line

Volleyball moves fast—but with the right mental framework, your athletes don’t have to fall apart when the game does.

The Volleyball Coaches Package gives you everything you need to train mentally tough, emotionally steady players who know how to reset, stay composed, and compete with confidence—even when the stakes are high.

When coaches understand the mental game, teams play freer, communicate better, recover faster, and develop the consistency needed to win.

Though the materials included are not sport-specific, volleyball coaches consistently rave about how powerfully this training improves confidence, resilience, and on-court performance.

Testimonials

A real breakthrough book for athletes! Having been frustrated using traditional cognitive-behavioral approaches with athletes experiencing freezing, choking or the yips, this book packs in all of the information you need to make a wonderful impact with athletes suffering from these recurrent sports performance issues. I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! I would highly recommend this book and its techniques to all practitioners who work with athletes. You will be thrilled with your results. But that’s not all. The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. They carefully put together treatment strategies that athletes can employ even without a therapist. I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

This is a GREAT tool to use with any sport parents. I had the parents on my team listen to it in one of our meetings and I couldn’t believe the response. It opened their eyes. Doc, you have such a great way of presenting things. Your humor makes parents willing to listen to all the things they’ve been doing wrong and what they need to do to change without getting defensive. Bless you.

Ray B

I was listening to your “Parents” audio today on my drive and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. What a life skills gift to teach parents how to teach their kids how to roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! The “Juice” is normal, it is what will fuel you. Don’t fear “The Juice” embrace it. Such a great audio! Thank you.

Wesley

Thanks so much! I finally learned how to get my parents on the same page that I’m on. They’re actually helping me now! Go Figure! It has made things so much much easier for me to do my job. I think this is a critically important book for coaches in any sport.

Jack

I’ve downloaded your 14 Steps and have been listening to them with my son. It is having a very positive impact on both of us! I am so grateful that I discovered your work.

Michael

Congratulations on your program, “14 Steps!” They are truly outstanding and thoroughly cover all the mental aspects of sports which are challenging to athletes and coaches. We are using them this year as part of our weekly training program and the kids love your stories and teachings!

Ken S.

Your new program has really helped both of my kids even though they are in different sports! My daughter used to get too nervous before she played and she told me how much more relaxed and focused she feels now and I can see it in her level of confidence and success on the field. My son had a long history of doing better in practice than competition, leaving him frustrated and us not knowing how to help him. What a difference I see in him now when he competes under pressure. Thanks so much — you’re a great teacher!

Concerned Parent

Dr. G, I bought your mental toughness program for my daughter who plays volleyball. This is a kid who would hang onto her mistakes and tend towards the negatives! Here’s what she put on her volleyball expose as her goals for this year…..and probably every year to come….“Be positive, strong & confident!” And from what her coach has told me, she is playing that way now! Thanks so much!

Russ

I want to let you know how much I enjoy and respect your series, “14 Steps.” I coach a small high school and your program not only helped my team play better under pressure, it significantly helped my 17-year-old daughter who’s a three-sport athlete. She used to think too much and get too nervous going into games. Now she plays the way she practices, relaxed and aggressively. Thanks for your product.

Gail

I have downloaded your 14 Steps to Mental Toughness and have been listening to them with my son. I must say that it is having a very positive impact on both of us!! We live in the UK where this type of science is not well known, but now I am persuaded by it! I am so grateful that I discovered your work as my son is only 17 so has plenty of time to benefit.

Mohammed

My coaching staff listened to the Parents‘ audio’s with me and are all very excited, so excited in fact that we are hosting a workshop for parents. I shared the audio’s with a couple of parents … the response was so positive these parents have volunteered to participate in helping to run the parent workshop. They listened to the audio’s and consciously put into practice some of your parent guidelines. As a result, not only are they enjoying closer relationships with their children, but the kids are enjoying themselves again!

Tim

Amazing Book! (This Is Your Brain On Sports) Purchased this book for my husband and once he started reading the book, he couldn’t put it down. He said it was fascinating and so “spot on” … My husband said that if he knew what this book speaks of … he would have had a longer pro career. Every athlete, coach, and parent (especially father) of an athlete will benefit from reading this book.
