Hello;

I am looking for assistance with a program that offers great exposure
to sponsors.  Bob Holmes, www.beatbob.com the one man volleyball
team, is the only man who single-handedly takes on entire pro ball
teams and wins.
Bob has played and beaten the Miami Dolphins, the Pittsburgh
Steelers,
the Washington Redskins, the Buffalo Bills, Penn State, the Baltimore
Orioles with Cal Ripkin and Jim Palmer, and many others all by
himself.
He has faced more than 200,000 opposing
players in front of more than two million people.  He has won more
than 14,100 games.  He has appeared on Family Channel,
CBS This Morning, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and has been featured
in
countless newspaper articles including USA Today.

Bob plays the entire court all by himself and has no special rules.
This really gets the attention of the students at school assemblies.
They are entertained and given a great message on "Beating the Odds."

Please see his website for more information.
There is also a video that can be viewed from there to see him play.

Hey everybody, I have some good news.  I've built a website dedicated
to volleyball players who are searching for tournaments.  The site is
located at www.geocities.com/volleyballtourneys.  This is a brand new
site so it doesn't have a ton of traffic yet but I'm getting the word
out to everyone I know and hope they do the same.  The more people
that know about this site the better the site will be.  My goal is to
make it THE SITE when searching for a volleyball tourney and I'm
willing to put the time and effort into making it so.  I know I don't
have as many contacts as some of you do so if you could forward this
to your contacts the ball can get rolling that much faster.  Thank
you for all your help and please get back to me if you have any
tourneys you want posted.

Greetings -

This email for this special groups that Volleyball.ORG coordinates,
is just to let you know of some special educational opportunities at USA
Volleyball. I have been with USA Volleyball for over a decade, currently
serving as USA Volleyball's Director of Education, Disabled, Grassroots and
Beach Volleyball. I believe you will find the information we are sharing of
value.

TO GET USA VOLLEYBALL'S EDUCATION NEWS

This is how we first plan to reach out to those working with kids as
coaches, interested parents and educators. There is some stuff on backlog of
importance and value, then things will likely both slow down and diminish in
size. If you have some great information or material you think others should
read, as they are working with kids and athletes, please send it to me and
we will pass it along.

The kind of educational information we will be sharing is found below, one
of many articles to be shared with educational list members.

      It’s Not Where You Are, It’s Who You Are
       John Kessel, USA Volleyball Director of Education, Grassroots,
       Disabled & Beach Volleyball

This started as an email I sent to the top 5 USA Teams battling in the
spring to make the final two 2000 Olympic Beach Volleyball Team slots. As
the Olympic Team Leader in a sport that just now is allowing coaching, I
enjoyed the challenge of preparing a team from individuals and changing
partnerships and to give them all they needed to succeed on the sand in
Sydney.  I have since added to it to help volleyball kids who write me about
problem coaches, and for those seeking to excel under any coach. Originally
I called it “How to Excel Under Any Coach,” but on a trip to Alaska,
attending the Eskimo Olympics (www.weio.org) and working with Eskimo kids
who come from such small schools they always play coed to fill a team, I
remembered Marv Dunphy’s great line that now titles the article.  The
sub-title of this is “It’s not how tall you are, it’s how tall you play…” as
skill and timing will beat height anytime. It summarizes what I hope your
kids will be learning from our fun on the field, in practices and
games...Some of it is a bit volleyball specific, but the majority of the
thoughts are about being a true athlete, no matter what the sport.

Reflections on what you need to do, to be the best you can be. I want to
share some of my thoughts with you, as I believe they will help you succeed
on the court in preparation towards your personal best. The fire I carry
within is to help you shorten the time gap in the development of your
personal philosophy. The ideas below come from decades of helping players be
excellent, The motto of the Olympics, CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS. - guides our
efforts as staff and players. Swifter, Higher, Stronger. So to win, we must
push ourselves, giving all we can for as long as we can, and extending
ourselves. Remember this about your pursuit of personal excellence - If it
is meant to be, it is up to me...

I should also tell you that while there have been many people, experiences
and books that have guided me, the most impactual one simply is John Wooden.
There is a new book out called The Ultimate Guide to Life, Leadership,
Friendship and Love, by Neville Johnson. ISBN 0-9673920-0-4. Get it, for it
is all about the ideas of John Wooden and his pyramid of success, that can
help every person, athlete or not, become the best they can be. I also have
learned great things from Marv Dunphy and Doug Beal, both USA Olympic Gold
Medal coaches. As Marv once said, "It is not where you are, it is who YOU
are; it is not how big you are it is how good or how great YOU are."

THERE IS ONLY ONE CHAMPION - This is our holy grail, and every team in our
championship division is seeking that same trophy. Now, we must define what
winning is. In this team sport of volleyball, one person cannot win the game
by his or herself. It is a team sport, so the winning is out of just one
player's control. So, winning is always, ALWAYS going to be defined as doing
all you can to be the best you can be. John Wooden's classic Pyramid of
Success has at its peak, the statement. "Success is peace of mind which is a
direct result of self satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become
the best that you are capable of becoming." If you do this...the winning on
the court will be more likely. Should you play your best, and lose in the
point column, what more can you ask of yourself? Nothing...for you won. ..to
quote George Moriarity, "Giving all, it seems to me, is not so far from
victory."

TEACH OTHERS TO TEACH YOURSELF - If you coach, you will be a better player.
This is true at any age level, so seek out and create time to coach others
less skilled and/or experienced than you are. In Japan, the after school
elementary school practices I worked with were 45 minutes of games and
practice for the 7-10 year olds, who were coached by the 10-12 year olds
under the watchful eye of the adult head coach, then 45 more minutes where
the head coach trained these 10-12 year olds once they were done coaching.

COMPETE WITH YOURSELF - Demand more from yourself than from your teammate.
This is the sign of a serious and true competitor. This is how you will
become the best you can be, and thus help USA win a gold. To excel, focus on
yourself first. No matter how small or unimportant it may seem, look for
ways to be better when you leave training than when you walked in, whether
it be the weight room, training room, physical testing, or the court. By
competing as hard as you personally can, you will also help those around you
be better. Gold Medalist Dan Jansen said " I do not try to be better than
anyone else, I try to be better than myself."

TALENT IS A JOB, NOT A GIFT - If you have talent, you can be good without
working hard, but to be great, you must work hard. Volleyball is a hard
sport to learn, so do not expect it to be easy, for it takes years to be
great. People see talent in two ways, One group sees that talent is to be
developed through hard work, while others see it being something you either
have or do not. Those athletes who know that skill takes time, will practice
longer/have patience thru tough times. Research shows that higher
performance happens with those athletes who expect to have to work long and
hard to develop their talent. Superstars, like Karch, Jordan, Gretzky Woods,
share an intensity and drive to constantly improve their talents. Karch's
coaches and teammates describe him as the hardest worker in the gym/on the
sand. You have to BE, before you can DO, and DO before you can HAVE.

LEARN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE - STAY IN CONTROL - These same superstars share
the ability to stay in control, despite the great pressures they
encountered, using their emotions effectively. They stay focused, and
efficient, the mental discipline, to act decisively when it counts. Karch
would stay on the court in the sand during time outs, staring at the
opponent's empty court, while one teammate called Jordan, the Predator.
Controlling frustration, anger, fear, and even confidence is an athlete's
responsibility, not that of the coach. Develop responses that

MAKE SURE TO GET REST - One of the key items I learned from the Prep for
Sydney meetings for head coaches was realization that there is no such word
as "Overtraining. " To be great you must train very hard sometimes. What you
also must make sure you get is enough rest and recovery, for you are
training hard. Everything you are doing en route to a gold medal is
important, significant, and meaningful. As the distractions mount towards
the end of a long season, it is vital to get enough good rest.At the same
time, remember the words of Jerry West - "You can't get much done in life if
you only work on the days you feel good, for work beats talent, unless
talent works."

BE A TRUE TEAMMATE - One who is responsible for yourself, to your team's
obligations and to your personal and team goals. You, no one else, are
accountable for ALL your actions. Be honest and trustworthy to yourself,
your teammates and the entire team staff. Ask when you have questions. You
need to make sure that you are all pulling on the SAME end of the
rope....together and strong.

TEACH YOUR COACH HOW TO HELP YOU LEARN BETTER - In the art of coaching,
coaches have many colors and different paintbrushes on their pallet that
they can use to help you learn to be your best. It is just that each of you
are unique, and for us to excel, a coach should not treat, nor teach each of
you the same. Skilled coaches have learned to be consistent with each of
you, but not the same. They are there for you in every practice. It is not
their job to hammering you with constant feedback, but letting you learn.
They will summarize feedback at times, but anytime you want to ask a
technique or tactic question, you can talk to your coach who will always
listen. Day or night, on the court, by phone, or even email! It is what you
learn, not what the coach knows, that matters. It is our role to help you
become a player who is all you can be-- without the coach -- for you are the
athlete on the court of competition, and we cannot think for you as you
play. You will always be your best coach, for you are with yourself 24 hours
a day...

COMMUNICATE - Talk and listen with your teammate and any staff helping you
become your best. Share information you think will help us be our best.
Silence equals acceptance, so speak out if you do not accept it. When off
the court, read books and watch movies that can give you a new idea or
inspiration to be great. If you have a problem, all energies will go towards
the solution.

KNOW YOUR ROLE - You need to understand and perform your role, just as much
as you need to perform technical skills. We have a GREAT staff assembled to
help you be your best...so use us. Who is on the court will be determined by
on the court competition when the points are tallied. Since a teammate does
not err on purpose, you need to put those errors immediately in the past,
and focus on what you can control, the next point.

SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION - You get better one play at a time.
Certainly touching the ball yourself helps you learn the most, but each
contact, by your teammates as well, can be a joy and a learning experience.
We all can see Scott Fortune kill the overpass for the Seoul Gold Medal
match point...and should be able to see Eric Sato's jump serve that set it
up. We have such a great sport to celebrate in, rally by rally. Enjoy this
time as an elite athlete. It is exciting to be playing volleyball,
especially at this level. Have fun and smile, it takes fewer muscles, and it
makes you stronger.

PLAY SINGLES IN THE GARAGE - It is important to learn to play this game over
a net. In the winter, you can still string up a rope, and play one on one
with that one friend, or sibling, who shares your love of playing this game.
Play one on two if someone else shows up, or even doubles, using a beach
ball or a real ball. If you can, put up a net or just a rope for even a
small distance in the backyard, and play these small sided games on smaller
than normal courts. Learn to read and anticipate what an opponent is
preparing to do before they send it over the net.

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL - A setter cannot control the passer, or the
hitter, a passer cannot control the server. You cannot even control what
your teammates say, think, or do. You can only control yourself, so focus on
what YOU can do.

FOCUS POINT BY POINT - In a related way, every match has three parts, a
past, present and future. You cannot control the past, even that last rally.
Nor can you control the future (if you can, get into the stock market, make
millions then give it back to volleyball please). So by focusing on the
point at hand, playing one point at a time, you eliminate two-thirds of the
worries many players have cluttering their heads as they play. What do you
do NOW.

IF YOU WANT TO BE BETTER YOU MAY HAVE TO CHANGE - These changes may cause
you to slide backwards for a bit of time. Pay close attention to the small
successes you achieve by making these changes. Turn your wounds into wisdom,
and hey, remember...50% of the teams playing today in 220 nations around the
world - lose. The key is to keep pushing forward.

BE A POWERFUL PRESENCE - Be yourself, and be proud. If you gripe at
calls,turn your back on teammate errors, hang your head or kick a ball, get
frustrated outwardly, it gives energy to your opponents and weakens you and
the team. Forget your mistakes and focus on what you can control...the
upcoming play. Focus on what to do, not your errors, and always and only let
them see that you are powerful and confident.

BETTER WHAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU- I remember Marv Dunphy summing up why he
thought we won the gold medal in the Seoul Olympics. He felt at that time,
just hours after the success, that it was due to playing better team defense
and bettering the ball. It is your duty and focus as a teammate to make the
ball you got better, no matter how difficult the incoming ball is. Every
ball can and must be played! In our three contacts, we can improve the bad
pass, if we are setting, kill the ball off of a wayward set. Bettering the
ball happens not just on the court, but off. If you have ideas that might
work in other areas of your development, share them, in order to make that
also better for the next person.

RELENTLESS PURSUIT - For those of you who know my far side, you will
understand then my two rules in this key area of pushing yourself on the
court.

Rule #1, Go for EVERY ball.
Rule #2, If the ball is too far away to reach, see rule #1.
And a corollary to this high effort is: Winners never fear risking to lose.

WATCH THOSE BETTER THAN YOU - Watch videotapes of the Olympics, and NCAA
Championships. Go watch levels of play higher than you compete in -the 18
and unders if a Junior Olympian, or collegiate matches, and the National
Team any time you can catch them on TV or in person. Watch one player who
you want to be like as they do the whole rally, by not focusing on the ball,
but their actions before, during and after the rally, before during and
after each contact. What are they looking at and learning to read? Why did
they move to that spot before ball was hit and not some other place? There
is much more learned by what is done before the ball is touched, that you
need to develop too.

SHARE YOUR SECRETS - The best thing about our Prep for Sydney meetings in
Chicago and Sydney, was the chance to share our ideas with other Olympic
bound coaches and support staff. I will be passing these along to others,
starting with the Paralympic and Olympic staffs, as part of the team around
the team we have here. If you have an idea that you think might help you or
the team programming be better, share it, for unlike items, when you share
ideas, you still have yours, while adding new ones to our tools to be our
best. Pass them along to me at john.kessel@.... I will be sharing more
with you later, but for now, it is back to learning, er, I mean work.

"We have great ties to the local volleyball community, the Dallas/Fort
Worth Regional Sports Commission and the Dallas 2012 Bid Committee.
These groups have all come forward to support this event and we
anticipate another successful championship event working with them,"
