Headline: They Survived the Worst of World War II. And Died of the Virus.
The following are excerpts. "The conditions inside the 247-bed, state-run home, where Mr. Miller had lived for five years, were so chaotic that his children cannot recount them without breaking down. 'At that point, he was choking,' Ms. KcKee said. 'He died with no care whatsoever.' With scarce protective gear and a shortage of staff, the facility's administrators combined wards of infected and uninfected men, and the virus spread quickly through a fragile population. But many in the start are revisiting decisions made since 2015, when a moderate, technocratic Republican governor, Charlie Baker, was elected on a promise to rein in spending. The facility's previous superintendent stepped down in 2015, declaring that the home could not safely care for the population on the existing budget. All this was well-known before coronavirus arrived in the state this spring, said Erin O'Brien, an associate professor of political science at the U. of Massachusetts, Boston. 'All these regular Massachusetts folks that are now outraged, I don't disagree, but veterans programs require funding,' she said. 'When you vote to shrink government, it has ramifications.'" There is an old saying, "You get what you pay for." Well you also get what you vote for. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 150 x 5

McQuinn: X X X 450 D. Wagoner: X # X X 550 We are headed to Marquette U., another Gold Medal Squared school for this three and half minute clip. You can largely ignore the first 45 seconds. We want to swing block everything that is more than a "bunny hop" away from you. Those first 45 seconds or so deals with a no swing blocking pattern.
Starting at the 0:45 mark, coach reinforces a lot of what we teach at Carroll regarding hand position until the 1:30 mark. However, get your thumbs up as we set our hands at shoulder height. 1:31-2:08 This conversation and video applies to exactly what we teach with swing blocking. 1:45 Please note the hip rotation/leg whip on landing. We are going to work on this once we get back into the gym. 2:03 Notice she drops her hands, steps away and cheats out a step to initiate the swing block. 2:06 Once again, she rotates her hips on landing using a leg whip. 2:26 Nice "coaches view" of the two step running swing block. This is great to work on in ISU Movement time. Basketball players should find this very comfortable as it is so similar to a layup. This running swing block is really useful for middles who have read the other team's middle hitter running a quick or slide and has to catch up to the outside set. The running swing block can be executed with a two step, three step or even 5 step. Remember- blockers block! They do not step away and try to play defense. 2:28 Even this running swing block has the hip rotation on landing. 3:16 The young lady who is demonstrating still shows a hip rotation with a bit of leg whip but not near as aggressive. As of 5/20/20 at 10:00 AM We have discovered (thanks to Maryn and Madison) that this video is behind a firewall. I assume the cookies on my computed bypassed that window as I have an AOC membership. Contact me if you really want to see this video and we will make it happen. https://www.theartofcoachingvolleyball.com/different-footwork-patterns-to-get-outside/ This is good reinforcement for our May 8 audio. Another coach, this time from Arizona State University is discussing the same keys we stress for our setters at Carroll in this four minute clip.
Only two notes. I love his line at 3:12 about a setter should have, "...a good relationship with their right foot." It makes perfect sense, but I have to admit that I laughed when he said it. Maybe you have to be a setter to get it? We strive to be right foot forward. I had to listen a couple of times, but at 3:20/3:21, coach uses that most critical word of everything we teach- pivot. He is clearly speaking about spin setting. I like this. Frame. Face (actually twice- passer & hitter). Finish (actually twice again- frame & feet). I am so grateful that Coach Greg introduced me to spinning 15 years ago. It has certainly made life easier. https://vimeo.com/420020767/196547695a This does not apply to high school volleyball, but most of these rules if accepted at the college level eventually trickle down to the high school. Like my voice matters, but if it did, I strongly support this rule change. This clip is 5 minutes long.

Another three day week at the Nike Training Center, 4 days of running, 5 days of wall sets and Wagner Gym on Tuesday at 7:00. Then, we slow down for a couple of weeks.
The NTC is our most ambitious yet. Thanks to Madison Wagner for recommending it. You are heading for "Upper-Body and Core Sizzler 2". Click on Browse once the NTC app opens. This time we are headed for "Workout Type". When it opens, click on "Strength". You will be scrolling for a bit. This is a 32 minute workout and the workouts are arraigned by length of time. Dumbbells are optional. I will leave it up to you if you are doing body weight or want to use dumbbells if you have them. We will continue to run as I worry about our cardio come July and August. Once more, I have no desire to race the clock. If the pace seems fast, slow down. If the pace seems slow, speed up. I want you to be comfortable. No walking. We are adding a minute for a 12 minute jog. We want 4 days of running. If you bike, go 36 minutes. I really prefer we run this. We do not bike around a volleyball court. We run. Paige, biking is fine for you if your back is hurting or the IT band feels tight. Five minutes of ISU to warm up before each run. Three minutes of ISU to cool down. Our passing this week is wall sets. I want you to do this five days this coming week. 150 balls. Please do these on five days and not 300 every other day or some other pattern. We are trying to get daily touches. Paige, Adelle, Grace, L'Red, Morgan H., you have 250. Right foot forward. Hands shaped to the ball and high. Remember we posted some audio for setting in the blog. When you check in with me and tell me a workout is complete, I will assume it is NTC, the run, and wall sets. I will mark that with the normal X. There is one day you will tell me you have done the run and wall sets only. I will mark that with an R. And then you will have a day that is wall sets only. It will be marked with a W. The Wagner Gym is marked with the usual pound symbol, #. Be mindful of the weather. The forecast seems to change frequently. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 150 passes

Wagoner: X # X X 150 I hope you find this 3:40 video as informative as I did. It is nice when I come across something that causes me to think. Please watch the video once before reading through my notes. Coach Stone has some great points we need to pay attention to. Assuming that no one beats them out, Adelle and Paige are our returning left side hitters/blockers. They are not the tallest blockers in the world. Still, if we call for a double block and the other team runs through are A/B slot, it is expected that our LSH, Paige and Adelle, will support our middle blockers if we have called the double block.
I believe that this is a national team competition between Egypt and the US team, China vrs. USA. and then I am clueless. https://www.theartofcoachingvolleyball.com/left-front-block-assist/?inf_contact_key=cd70fb60c4421cc9d89c9438d65ac96516358d5485884e2f31e6019a0d26c8b0 We are headed back to the cardio room, so to speak. This is short but intense. We do this routine about once a month. Sometimes twice. Sometimes we go two months before doing this.
Remember that this is a three day week. We are at the Wagner's Gym at 7:00 on Tuesday. We need to start running a bit. If I see you in July, we have to have cardio established. Morgan, Maryn a little and Adelle have been getting in some mileage. The rest of us have not. I have been on the stationary bike a lot. Maybe some of you are biking? Anyway, we have three 10 minute runs this week. That should be a touch over a mile. Pace is up to you, however, NO WALKING. Find a pace that you are comfortable with. If it feels easy, great! Speed up. If you need to bike, triple the amount - 30 minutes each of the three days. Your pace on the bike should be around 7 miles in the 30 minutes. Our passing this week is very specific. 150 balls. But I want them up, up and away! We are working on 2nd contact balls that are out-of-system. This is the ball that we want 10' off the net and, what we are working on this week, 20' high. Minimum. The easiest way I found to do these is toss the ball up and get in two short little timing passes, which do not count, then go high! Catch and repeat. Keep in mind, we are trying to advance the ball to the 10' line. This is not an exercise where you pass it straight up with the goal of simply repeating. Well, if that is all we can do, it beats nothing, but we want a little (or a lot) of angle in our platform. Also keep it simple. Minimize the use of your legs. Drop your hips down but do not fully stand back up. Those two timing passes do not count. We want 150 high balls. The workout is on the other side of the read more break. |
