In "Short Setter's Handbook," Lindsey Berg splits her time between telling her story of perseverance and offering valuable instruction on how non-prototypical setters can thrive. Reading the pass, sizing up the block, bettering the ball, jump setting, footwork, hand technique, communicating with your teammates and coaches, blocking big when you're not big, delivering the right ball to the right hitter - it's all here and more. And it's relatable to players at every level. Yes, Berg reached the pinnacle. But along the way, she was overlooked and underappreciated, so she knows exactly how to advise young setters who weren't born with the preferred body type.

With more than 11 million participants in the United States alone, the popularity of volleyball is on the rise, as is the competition within the club, high school, and collegiate games. Coaches are actively seeking methods to get more from their teams. Aggressive Volleyball holds the key to taking players and systems to higher levels by developing a combination of heightened physical and mental techniques that maximize any team’s potential. Similar to a full-court defense in basketball, all-around aggressive volleyball play demands a full team effort. Aggressive Volleyball provides the individual and team assessments necessary for determining how to incorporate and use aggressive tactics, as well as strategies for teaching competitiveness and the communication patterns needed for aggressive play. From offense and defense to out-of-system and transition play, Aggressive Volleyball presents the best way to incorporate this style and attitude into each element of the sport. Author Pete Waite has gained national recognition for his teams’ success in playing an aggressive style. His Wisconsin Badger team not only is a power in the Big Ten Conference, but it’s also a perennial challenger for the national championship. Like his style of play, Waite holds none of his instruction back in Aggressive Volleyball, providing direct guidance for coaches to raise the level of their teams’ performance.
