"Thank you SO much for helping me! I can't tell you how much this means to me. You truly are the best!

Hopefully something will change in your situation that might allow you to be our head coach......we're not giving up! :) "

" I am assuming that you are aware of how you perform a COMPLETE transformation from DEFEATED to EMPOWERED in one afternoon with YOU. This must be why you do what you do. :)
And, I could EASILY go on, using even more powerful words."

Wow! Thank you SO much for your thoughtful, helpful, articulate, and PROMPT response! Providing a personal example really helped to clarify my situation and know that you really thought it through before replying. It's obvious that you are an exceptionally dedicated coach and teacher.

I am learning to just keep coaching no matter what….win lose ...keep teaching encouraging, fussing, disciplining and building a team. Thanks for all your advice and encouragement. It really does make an impact!

October 13, 2011
Thanks Coach. Your answer makes perfect sense - you are clearly a volleyball guru! I'm excited to practice this, and will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your answer. Just knowing where to get the answer was helpful, but you doing the leg work is awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

August 28 11, 2009
The email you sent me will definitely be added to my coach’s personal book on the first page so as to never forget the important points in building a successful program. I appreciate all the tips and certainly will be implementing those.….thanks, you’re the best! BTW, I will be ordering your drills collection…I can’t wait!

My adrenalin is on a rush- I can't tell you how much chatting with you has calmed my anxiety and upped my motivation! Again, thank you for your articles....many times throughout the season I'd open up an email from you and there it was in black and white, the very thing I had been contemplating or that drill that helped us prepare for the next big match....all I can say is please keep them coming!

I am pouring over your book.. loving every minute of it. Thank you for doing such a great job and spending the time on all of the topics that coaches may have questions on.

"The coaching personality I have now is attributed to what I've learned from Coach Houser. I learned from his example and it has made me better coach. I honestly hope you
consider checking out Coach Houser's website. He has free downloads that are very helpful. The most helpful item is his Ebooks, which you can get info from his website. I don't get any compensation for promoting these sites other than I know you'll learn from them as I
have."

I have read your ebooks and have found them to be very informative as well as motivational. I think you do a great job of spelling out alot of problems that today's coaches face and offer valuable solutions to these problems. I really enjoyed the book that you dedicated to your wife "I Can't Wait to Coach Today!!" This is a great resource for Coaches at all levels!

"I Can't Wait To Coach Volleyball Today" is a wonderful information for a volleyball coach. Whether you are new to coaching or a beginner there is great information here for everyone. I think it is always important to reevaluate what you are doing and this book helps do that with great ideas. Just because you have always done something one way doesn't mean it will always work with the changing game and more advanced athletes. This book will get you thinking which is always a positive for a volleyball coach."

I can hardly wait for our first practice in January. I am so motivated by your great words and books. I feel confident that I’m going into this club season with lots of great practice ideas and ways to get the girls excited too!

These e-books are a great source of Coach Houser's personal experiences derived from over 20 years coaching high school and club level volleyball. A tremendous starting point for any beginning coach looking to get a head start on what to expect, and how to work through some of the issues that they will surely face over their first few years as a junior high, high school, or club coach. I strongly recommend it for anyone starting to get involved in coaching at this level, or an experienced coach looking for a fresh perspective!

Coach Houser's articles are the best. Being a male coach, they help me relate to my players so much better and this has made our team more successful. If every coach read these articles, the sport would benefit nationwide. His ideas are fresh, relevant, and insightful. My players enjoy reading the articles as well. The articles I find particularly interesting are the ones in regards to playing time and how to deal with parents. I wish I would have had them in the early stages of my coaching career when I took over a perennial losing program. If you read anything about volleyball, read Coach Houser's articles, they are the best.

Reading Tom Houser is like being in the gym. He brings experiences directly to you from his own practices and game courts. A thoughtful, successful coach, Tom Houser looks exhaustively at the challenges -- and joys -- of coaching. Well worth the read.

Dear Tom: I got the e books and drill collection and what a worthwhile purchase it was!!! The information is fantastic and I can't wait to put some of your drills and ideas into practice. Reading your material has inspired me to become a better coach, and have some of the success you had as well. Thanks again for making this information available thru your website. You're great!!

"Coach Houser has brought together a collection of articles that address both the 'sport' side of volleyball, as well as the 'human' side of the game. This combination is valuable for anyone working with players, and gives a most unique perspective. The fact that the articles are based on real life experiences adds to their value. Because they cover a myriad of topics and issues they are useful throughout the season and off-season too."

Marc Pogachar
Head Coach, Spirit Vball Club, 14N Team.

Coach Houser is a well known and very reputable source for information regarding volleyball. I have looked into his background and had many e-mail discussions with him and find that his information, philosophy and good natured interest in the sport is second to no one's.

Interested coaches may wish to purchase some of Tom's coaching materials as they are truly second to none I have seen, and my current library, is quite extensive.

Coach Houser’s articles are not only about the technical aspects of volleyball, but also about the coaching side of volleyball that many coaches forget about. The issues he discusses are for coaches at all levels, from the coach just starting out to the experienced coaches.

" I Can't Wait To Coach Today" is a great blueprint for coaching. Very good information that will give direction to new coaches and present new fresh ideas to veteran coaches. Coaches that aren't continually learning and adapting are falling behind. I would recommend this book to all coaches as another source of inspiration and affirmation.
