Each fall for high school, then later when Junior Olympic volleyball clubs begin, training takes place that shows that the science of our sport has not impacted the cultural traditions of this same sport. Well intentioned and even trained coaches enter gyms all over America, and train their athletes they way they were trained. That the science of sport – of biomechanics and motor learning and other disciplines – have researched and found better, more efficient and more successful ways of training, simply seems not to matter, or this information has not reached down to these levels.
