Lifting for Volleyball
This is not the most common of topics when discussing volleyball, but I've been asked by enough people to warrant a brief post on the subject. The question at hand? "What can I do in the gym to improve my game?" (Or some variety of that. Usually it's more like, "How do I increase my vert?")
In general, I don't stress my high school athletes to spend hours in the gym "getting huge, brah." But maintaining an overall, well-rounded, fitness regimen in addition to their volleyball training is important. However, there comes a time when a player desires increased performance and has the drive to do everything possible to improve in their game. Improving upon your pure physical capabilities is certainly one way to improve on-the-court performance.
