Preparation IS the Key

One thing we emphasize at A5 in all our clubs is hard work, as evidenced by all the current and former athletes' performances that are featured later in this issue. And not just any old work, we focus on coaching skills and technique in a patterned, methodical and consistent way. We'd like to think the proof is in the pudding, meaning you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it. Every year we see more and more A5 athletes from all our gyms becoming impact players, whether it be in their middle school, high school, or college programs. "The only path to being great at anything is time spent. In this case, time spent in the gym" shares Bob Westbrook, A5 club founder.

 

In the time left before our club season tryouts, we invite players of all ages to any of the individual or group skills development classes offered at Volley Performance and/or to the programs such as Train for Tryouts and/or Open Gym time offered at several of our clubs. It doesn't matter where a player is on the path of participating in an organized sport such as volleyball, hard work at every step of the journey is essential to developing talent at any level. After all, hard work doesn't have to be witnessed, time exposes everything.
