I beg to differ, otherwise why would people even take stats at all? For their health? Yes probably, but also for the W. I love women.

Stats in general are meaningless. I can’t look at a stat sheet and tell if a dig is on target. A dig that my blocker has to run off the court to retrieve and then I free ball over carries the same weight as a perfect dig to my partner resulting in a great set and termination. The true measure is how you convert digs into points, that is where Todd and Phil are successful. I respectfully disagree with the powerful credence that you lend to blocking an extra ball per game and the relevance to wins. A better measure is how many balls are hit out because Phil’s block is in the hitters head. Again I refer to my original comment that stats in general are meaningless. The only one that matters is the W.

Darren, the stat you heard at the IMPACT course was not actually a study. It was meant to be a comical look at how much importance some coaches, especially at the youth level, put on winning and losing rather than the improvement of their players over time.

Hey, I'm willing to give lessons, in addition (and this used to be on here), a two block a game strategy is very proactive and will win you championships. That was in the original article. I'd like to play with someone who sets goals per points which is being Professed falsely and my idea from Shane Kitterman, and elevated his play at the Clash (gold bars) to the Open Level….the idea is 2 out of 3 serves for power, and 5 out of 7 on a side change for advantage.

Oh, for those of you that don't know…15 points in the desiding game, indoor or outdoor, new rally scoring rules.
