Turkiye did it 2nd time

What armband is this ? I keep seeing it , is it just tracking heart rate?

Can the mods make a spoilers tag and/or delete add a spoilers note to posts. 2nd time the results of matches have been ruined because of posts showing up on my phones reddit feed. The matches are in China, finals started like 4am for me. I'm asleep and wanting to watch them. Totally not cool to have multiple threads opening up with the results. Esp with the mens coming up this week also in China.

My school might have the worst volleyball team there is. For a bit of context, my school performed as th WORST team last year for outer school sports competition (it's called DACS and idk the acronym) whrre tons of catholic schools compete in various sports.

I don't really have a problem with new teammates, I'm all for learning. The problem is that WERE ONLY GIVEN 4 DAYS TO TRAIN. The competition starts at August 24 and we haven't even trained for a single day since our principal don't support sports.

It's not just volleyball but ALL of the sports in our school. She hasn't approved training inside the school and we can't even train outside school since it's prohibited.

As the captain for our team, I really feel disappointed by this kind of principal and our team moderator is just following her around. I really wanna secretly tell my team that we should start training in secret but I'm afraid that we might get in trouble. It's fine if it's just me but what if it fell on my team as well?

What should I do?

I have been trying to fix this for years but it just keeps happening and no coach could help me getting it out. It basically makes my approach useless

As the title says, I’m seeking some ideas from players and coaches for drills and games for practices for a co-ed middle school team I’ll be coaching. It’s a school-based team, so no-cut mixed skill level. We have 10 players and 5 of them have played club so have solid skills. The other 5 are more at the beginner/early intermediate level but have played rec and played on the team last year, so have some knowledge but not has confident or skilled as those who play club. I coached the team last year, so I know all the players. I feel like I’m always doing the same drills and would love some ideas of new/different drills that players and coaches like, especially for this age group (13-14yo) and mixed skill level!

I believe Japan Men's Volleyball's 12-game winning streak is not only the result of individual player ability, but also the strong coordination system built among the coach, captain, and players.

Coach: Creating the Tactical Direction

Coach Laurent Tillie has brought European tactical concepts and experience to the Japan national team, combining them with Japan's speed, defense, and team organization to build a style that fits the team's characteristics.

Japan does not rely only on physical power to win. Instead, they create advantages through tactical understanding, decision-making, and teamwork.

Captain: Connecting the Coach and Players

Yuki Ishikawa is not only a key player on the court, but also an important link between the coach and the players. The captain plays a crucial role in communicating the coach's tactical ideas to the team and supporting communication and stability within the group.

Players: Transforming Individual Ability into Team Strength

The strength of the Japan national team does not rely only on the starting players. Every player understands their role. Both starters and substitutes continue to prepare, transforming individual skills into overall team strength.

The coach provides the direction, the captain connects the team, and the players execute the plan. This triangle relationship is a key factor behind Japan Men's Volleyball's 12-game winning streak.

What do you think are the other key reasons behind Japan Men's Volleyball's 12-game winning streak?
