We’ve done seven Volleyball Coaching Wizards interviews so far, with plenty more to come. The discussion often turns to favorite books and recommended reading. Here’s a selection of titles suggested up to now.

• Sacred Hoops by Phil Jackson
• John Wooden (anything by or about)
• Drive by Daniel Pink
• Give and Take by Adam Grant
• Winners Never Cheat by Jon Huntsman
• Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
• The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
• The Gift of Imperfection by Brene Brown
• Moneyball by Michael Lewis
• The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle
• My Losing Season by Pat Conroy

Notice anything about this list?

That’s right. Not a single volleyball title in there. One of the objectives of this project is to develop a book worthy of joining this sort of list – one that even coaches from other sports will consider valuable reading.
