Brooke Rundle captures that essence in her book Headstrong. My favorite module, module 5 - Teamwork lays it all out there on the table for teams to address with each other. It takes a bold leader to truly address gossip, and Headstrong gives coaches and players the tools to face it in a safe and productive way. Additionally, the section on implicit bias is the first time I have ever seen that topic addressed specific to volleyball. Headstrong gives us tangible examples, real life situations, and is a fantastic how - to guide to help coaches and teams navigate a relevant complex concept.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRACHELLE SHERDEN, Head Women's Volleyball Coach Gustavus Adolphus College and 2018 MIAC Coach of the Year and AVCA Central Region Coach of the Year \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"I feel so fortunate that our team had the opportunity to work with Brooke during our \"virtual\" spring season. Headstrong 2.0 and the team workbook proved to be hugely beneficial for our athletes and our team as a whole. Through the six modules and team sessions our athletes learned simple, yet powerful volleyball-specific strategies to grow their mental game in practice and competition. On top of that, the athletes' relationships became infinitely stronger after they learned more about each other and worked together through each module and team session. I feel like the team made leaps and bounds forward together, even more so than if we would have had a \"normal\" spring season.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJEFF MEEKER, Head Women's Volleyball Coach Cornell College and 6x Conference Coach of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \"This book is not just another tool for coaches, rather is it an entire tool box to inspire growth in our athletes, provide a more positive experience and become better coaches.
