Craig Moore • The Art of Coaching Volleyball
Elite Club Director & Art of Coaching Clinician
Session Overview
Club coach Craig Moore explains why shifting coaching feedback from scoreboard outcomes to biomechanical and tactical process cues transforms athlete confidence and long-term skill execution under match pressure.
Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles
- Diagnose the mechanical root cause of a missed serve or attack (approach speed, toss location, elbow drop) rather than criticizing the error itself.
- Reward disciplined tactical execution and good process decisions even when the opponent makes an extraordinary defensive play.
- Build athlete resilience by keeping bench feedback anchored on controllable technical cues during tight late-set runs.
Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:
"Coach the mechanic, not the scoreboard""Check toss and elbow height""Win the process on the next contact"
Why Recommended for Coaches:
Provides a practical framework for diagnosing why an unforced error occurred—such as approach speed or elbow height—rather than reacting to the missed point.
