I'm Shyla Hall. I coach 16-White, and this is my third season at CVA. My favorite thing in the gym is hitting. Teaching shot selection is teaching a kid to think mid-air. I'll happily spend an hour on the mental side too. Coaching has taken up the better part of a decade of my life, two of them with this age group. Watch one practice and you'll know exactly what your athlete is getting.
When an athlete makes a bad error in a tight set: I don't narrate the error. I give one thing to change on the next ball. Come to a session and you'll find it heavy on fundamentals and technical work and built on small-sided games so everybody gets more touches.
I'll also tell you who won't enjoy playing for me: an athlete who isn't ready to be pushed past what they think they can do. Playing time, plainly: practice decides the lineup. I'd rather tell an athlete the hard thing early than leave them guessing all season.
The day job: Corporate Human Resources. Before coaching I played outside hitter, middle blocker and defensive specialist at the Division II level, and I can still demonstrate every rep. From the coach to each player on our team, we ALL give 100%. My team has never let me forget how loud I get over a good dig.
Email me whenever. You'll have an answer inside a day.
