Fra en GMS-klinikk i Seattle i mai 2014

Forløperen til det som nå er Gold Medal Squared (GMS) ble grunnlagt av Carl McGown i 1985 og GMS trekker fortsatt fulle hus på sine trenerseminarer. Deres «volleyball camps and clinics» regnes for å være blant de aller beste i USA. Da McGown i 2010 ble medlem av AVCA Hall of Fame sa Jim McLaughlin som er hovedtrener på University of Washington følgende om nominasjonen:

«…because of his practice methods, systems and match preparation, he is the best volleyball coach in the United States, and, probably, in the world today.»

GMS har en liste med litteratur de anbefaler i tillegg til sitt egenproduserte materiale. Siden de selv produserer det volleyballtekniske opplæringsmateriellet står vi igjen med en interessant samling bøker som du ikke finner dersom du søker etter volleyball på Amazon.

Shawn Weaver

Volleyballtrener som gjør andre bedre

Amerikansk artikkel om Shawn Weaver som havnet i rullestol 15 år gammel. 15 år senere har han en lang karriere som volleyballtrener å se tilbake på.

“For my self-esteem and personal self-worth, coaching volleyball has been so rewarding,” Weaver says.  “It is a great feeling being a desired and successful coach that is disabled, coaching non-disabled players advanced volleyball skills.”

AVCA (American Volleyball Coaches Association) Executive Director Kathy DeBoer videreformidler viktigheten av Weaver’s engasjement i studentenes liv.

“When it’s all said and done, volleyball is simply a tool to empower young people to believe in themselves and others,” sier DeBoer. “And no one embodies that promise more than Coach Shawn Weaver. He makes everyone around him better.”
