Masterclass: John Kessel

John Kessel's name is synonymous with helping coaches become the best teachers they can be.

It's impossible to give full credit to John's career in a few lines, John has been serving all facets of our sport for over 5 decades.

As the USA Volleyball's director of sport development, as a board member for World ParaVolley, as a FIVB Level IV instructor, having conducted thousands of seminars and clinics all over the world, and so on...

The Masterclass we did with John features over 80 minutes of excellent coaching insights.

In this Masterclass with John Kessel we went all over the place...and instead of filtering out John's answers to fit our 'standard' VB questions, I kept the edit a bit more rough. Missing out on some of John's insights would be a pity.

A page I read (this morning)

Not gonna get on my high horse here and do a New Year’s Resolutions thing right here. haha

But I’ve read this page this morning (Euro time, remember) and I liked it…maybe you’ll do too.

Something new we’re doing

Started this little exercise with my son (12yo), and we both enjoy it. Copy it if it speaks to you.

  1. Airplay my phone to our TV’s screen

  2. Navigate to https://www.instagram.com/golimitlesss/?hl=en

  3. Take turns explaining what is being pictured and give a real-life example

  4. Repeat this 8-10 times

Some pictures are a bit ‘out there’, but that’s fine.
