I have always been impressed with Bonnie Kenny's knowledge of volleyball and approach to coaching. In Volleyball: Steps to Success, she teaches both players and coaches how to improve skill level and master the fundamentals.
Jim McLaughlin
University of Washington head volleyball coach
Coaches Kenny and Gregory provide a wonderful coaching resource that presents the sport in an easy to follow and sequential manner. I found this format to be logical and user-friendly, and I particularly think the sections that provide training exercises will prove valuable to a wide range of coaches. Volleyball: Steps to Success is one of the best new works in our sport in some time.
