Kerri offer’s 4 week intensive programs in Sydney, Australia, during which she will be sharing absolutely everything she has learnt about the sport of beach volleyball. Here’s she talks about her program and her coaching style:
“I believe that for peak performance the following 6 areas of your life need to be functioning well: Skill, Physical, Health, Environment, Psychological and Social. Although I won’t be able to cover everything in 4 weeks, I will be able to share with you how to improve and value each of these areas.
The program will include:
Skill perfection – I’m an absolute perfectionist, so if you can’t handle being told how to make your technique better then my coaching is not for you! I will improve your technique, help you become more consistent with less touches of the ball, develop a better accuracy, improve your timing and change any bad habits.
Strategy – I will share with you all of the strategies and tricks that we used to help us to beat the best teams in the world! Offensive tactics, defensive tactics, new ideas, different and quite “weird” ideas, help you develop personal strategies that work perfectly for you and your team, teach you how to manufacture points and introduce you to the give and take.
Mental skills – This is the area that I believe won us the Gold Medal in Sydney. I will teach you how to deal with fears and doubts, create and maintain confidence, set goals, develop a greater self belief, deal with losing, turn it around when you’re down, plan & prepare for success, deal with stress and negative thoughts, take responsibility and manage self talk.
World Tour tools – After having played 92 World Tour events over 10 years, I’m happy to provide you with as much general advice as I can about how to excel and make the most of being on the World Tour.
Equipment – No need to bring anything!!! All balls, nets, lines, antennae etc will be supplied.
Work Books – No need to worry about forgetting what you’ve learnt, you’ll be provided with written material to carry with you all over the world. You can add to it at any time and refer to it for the remainder of your career. I still look at mine!!
Please note: Your coaches are also welcome to join you and learn.”
Optional – Conditioning programs can be incorporated on demand by professionals in Australia.
The 4 week program can be taken at a time suitable to you, anytime between September – April.
“I will lead you, teach you and motivate you to Be The Best you can be.” - Kerri
