MB wants to hit better!

Question
Hi, I am a middle hitter on my high school's junior varsity team. I have trouble getting a good hit that will impress my coach. I plan on working on my volleyball in my off season. I was just wondering if you have any suggestions on what I can do to improve on my hits. I also was wondering if you have any blocking drills, it seems like I can't put a block up for anything.
Thanks, Meaghan

Answer
Good evening Meaghan and welcome to www.allexperts.com!  

I get this question all the time: "I want to hit better."  

I'm going to ask you to do something radical (with your parent's permission).  I'm going to ask you to send me a DVD of you hitting OR post it on Utube.  Why?  B/c I can't really tell you anything about your spiking unless I can see it.  Why?  I've been coaching/watching vball for 25 years.  Some girls don't hit well b/c of their lack of athleticism.  Some don't hit well b/c they have a flaw in their armswing!   I give private lessons on Sat and Sun nights, and I see these all the time!  

If you can make a DVD, and you can email me at [email protected], then I will send you my mailing address.  Then after I watch you spike for 5 minutes (yep, that's all I need), then I'll be able to give you my opinion on your situation.  

You don't have to answer me back. If your parents say, NO WAY, then that's cool.  But I don't see how anyone can help you w/o seeing what you're doing.  

Have a great Halloween and please visit me at www.coachhouser.com.  My club season is only a few weeks away.  WOW are we going to have a lot of fun!
