Strength & Conditioning

Fitness/strength & conditioning is an integral part of any sport. It’s undebatable that spending time off the court to improve your strength, speed, power, quickness, balance, agility, and flexibility isn’t critical to making you a better athlete and in turn giving you the ability to be a better volleyball player. The Effectus Online Volleyball Training Academy customizes all training programs to the athletes needs and goals. Training is age/level appropriate representative of the long term athlete development plan and focuses on a progressive training style from year to year, season to season and month to month allowing the athlete to grow and develop at a safe and effective rate. You need to walk before you can run and run before you can jump but once you get there with the proper guidance along the way there’s no better feeling than knowing you’ve done everything possible to be at your best. That is our goal as an academy and as a coach to each athlete. We want to make each individual the best individual athlete they can become so when they step on a court they are strong, healthy, explosive, fit, and completely confident

biomechanics

Biomechanics, to explain in the simplest terms, is the physics of volleyball. It’s how our body moves to produce the forces required to spike a ball, pass a ball, serve, block, jump, etc. Every skill we perform is made up of a series of movements and mechanics. The more efficient and effective we are at those mechanics the higher we jump, the harder we hit, the more balanced and accurately we pass, etc. Learning and understanding how to best produce these movements will translate directly to performance on the court. It makes us a better practice players, more knowledgeable athletes and more skillful/talented players. The Effectus Online Volleyball Training Academy teaches athletes about the biomechanics of volleyball by periodically sharing information on various topics like:

key factors of the spike approach that lead to higher jump heights
airborne movements to produce a more powerful arm swing
serving efficiently and reducing errors
passing with balance and precision
blocking footwork patterns and their advantages
flexibility and range of motion and how they relate to producing force as well as reducing injury
and so much more..

Nutrition & mental coaching

coming soon

As the Online Training Academy continues to grow we will be providing more information on nutrition topics like:

How to fuel your body for training
Proper nutrition for recovery in different training phases
Fueling and refueling during competitions
etc.

We will also be looking to work with experts in the field of mental training and preparation and will be providing valuable information to our athletes on how to improve their performance from the head down.

We advocate a well rounded sport science approach to performance and recognize that it requires several collaborative pieces to maximize an athletes potential. We leave no stone unturned.
