Principles First, Before Methods
Without ambition one starts
nothing. Without work one finishes
nothing. The prize will not be sent
to you. You have to win it. The man
who knows how will always have a
job. The man who also knows why
will always be his boss. As to
methods there may be a million and
then some, but principles are few.
The man who grasps principles can
successfully select his own methods.
The man who tries methods,
ignoring principles, is sure to have
trouble.
Sin ambición uno comienza nada. Sin
trabajo uno termina nada. El premio
no se enviará a usted. Tienes que
ganar. El hombre que sabe cómo
siempre tendrá un trabajo. El hombre
que también sabe por qué siempre
será su jefe. Métodos puede haber un
millón y, a continuación, algunos,
pero los principios son pocos. El
hombre que agarra principios puede
seleccionar correctamente sus propios
métodos. El hombre que trata de
métodos, haciendo caso omiso de
principios, va a tener problemas.
Principios primero,
antes que los métodos

American HS & College Facts

2010
• Approximately 12,000 Volleyball Scholarships
are Available, NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA etc.

Developing IMPLICT Behaviors and Vision
• The neuronal explanation for these effects are perhaps best
exemplified by our own observations Bain and McGown), of
inexperienced coaches training novice players where the
instructor(s) become frustrated by the performance variability and
lack of successful repetitions of new learners. As a consequence,
these inexperienced coaches limit or abandon whole teaching
methods for part, and random practice for blocked. Unfortunately,
this course of action deprives the learner of the environmental
variability and sensory inputs that are essential for the formation of
motor maps and implicit behaviors, which are ultimately reflected
in the acquisition of functional skills and expert performance [13,
18, 19, 29, 65]. In total, the evidence on this topic is clear; drawing
distinctions between training methods based on age or ability is a
coaching practice that has no foundation in either motor learning
science or in the application of motor learning principles.
Motor Learning Principles and the Superiority
of Whole Training in Volleyball
•
Random vs. Blocked Practice: The random versus blocked practice methods represent a fundamental
paradox regarding athletic performance during training and subsequent performance during
competition [29, 30]. Based on performance measurements during practice, blocked activities, in
which athletes repeatedly rehearse the same task, result in superior performance during the training
session [2, 31]. In comparison, performing tasks and skills in random order decreases skill acquisition
during training. Consequently, based on measurement of performance effects during practice, many
coaches and players believe that blocked practice is superior to random practice [25]. Such a
conclusion however, mistakenly assumes a positive correlation between performance in practice and
long-term skill retention [32]. The paradox arises from the fact that blocked practice is in fact very
ineffective for transfer of learning to competition as performance improvements measured during
practice degrade rapidly, and inefficient because retraining on the same skills will be necessary [29,
31, 33]. Conversely, random practice is both effective, transfer to competition is high, and efficient,
skill acquisition is relatively permanent. Indeed, the superiority of random practice has been
substantiated for a large number of sports skills including volleyball [34, 35], badminton [36, 37],
baseball [38, 39], basketball [40], tennis [41], and soccer [42], and its utility and training applications
thoroughly reviewed by Schmidt and Lee [2]. Finally, scientific research into the neurological reasons
for this superiority have revealed that variable activities increase and strengthen the brain
connections that are responsible for learning motor skills whereas simply repeating the same
activities exerts no measurable effect on these brain connections [43-45]2.

Big Rules & Little Rules
It is What it is…
The authority of those who teach is often
an obstacle to those who wish to
learn.
Cicero 75 B.C.
La autoridad de los que enseñan es a
menudo un obstáculo para aquellos que
deseen aprender. Cicerón 75 a.c.
I see no hope for the future of our people
if they are dependent on frivolous
youth of today, for certainly all youth
are reckless beyond words... When I
was young, we were taught to be
discreet and respectful of elders, but
the present youth are exceedingly
wise [disrespectful] and impatient of
restraint.
Hesiod, 8th century BC
Veo que hay esperanza para el futuro de
nuestro pueblo si son dependientes de
frívolos jóvenes de hoy, desde luego,
todos los jóvenes son temerarias más
allá de palabras... Cuando era joven, nos
enseñaron a ser discreto y respetuoso de
los ancianos, pero los jóvenes presentes
son extremadamente prudentes
[irrespetuoso] y impaciente de
moderación. -Hesíodo, del siglo VIII a. C.
