Volleyball Conditioning Drills
Our Volleyball Conditioning Drills focus on specific needs of a volleyball player.
Introduction to Strength Training
How do we get more strength? - Basically muscle will get stronger when we “overload” it and make it work beyond its normal intensity.
In the beginning any workout would make you stronger. As long as you overload the muscle more than it is used to. Yes, it is that simple.
However, we will go beyond that. It is the most beneficial to train specific muscles and movements you need in volleyball. In our programs we always train the functions you need in volleyball.
Volleyball Conditioning - Specific Training Needs
Individuals have different needs
Our programs help you to understand the concepts of conditioning, so it is easier for you to train the specific needs athletes have.
Sometimes due to injury or another sport athlete might have only limited time to prepare for the season; from our resources she will find a short program to get ready for the season. Or maybe there is a specific need an athlete wants to work on for the shorter period of time.
For example, if according to tests athlete is quick enough, but she is lacking on strength, our purpose is to make it clear how to improve the strength part and help her to maximize her potential.
We provide you information how to train the specific needs an athlete may have.
Different sports have different needs
It is important to notice athletes have different needs for conditioning. For example: there is no sense for volleyball player to do football player’s workout; the requirements of the sports are so different.
Or there is no sense for volleyball player to run long distance, which many of the volleyball coaches are still making their players do (You’ll find an explanation for that later on…)
Volleyball Conditioning - Sports Specific Training
All the volleyball conditioning exercises we provide are very carefully picked and are exercises you need the most when playing volleyball.
In the beginning you will practice with your own body weight because it is extremely important to learn the correct techniques first. You are doing the same movement patterns but without weights or with very low weights first.
Your own body weight is good enough to overload your muscles in the beginning. It prepares you to lift weights later.
Functional Training – Training should be functional
An athlete needs to train the movements needed in volleyball, not individual muscles. This kind of training is called functional training, which trains your functionality and sport specific movements, not specific muscles. We focus on volleyball movement patterns in our strength training exercises.
Simple Exercises – Also Used at the Top Level
Always in our programs, the collection of exercises remains the same through the years.
Movement patterns you learn in the beginning are used also in advanced levels. Once you learn them, you can use them through your whole career. (However, there are few exercises which are only for the players who have extensive strength training experience).
