Kent co-writes piece for Volleyballmag
Volleyballmag.com published an article co-written by Richard Kent, a professor of literacy education at the University of Maine, and David Gallagher, a literacy professor at Mount Saint Mary College in New York, about creating team notebooks for volleyball teams at all levels. Kent and Gallagher said a typical team notebook has five sections: preseason thoughts, a match analysis for a game that athletes actually participate in, a match analysis for a game the athletes observe, postseason thoughts, and athletes’ notes. Writing in team notebooks “will complement your coaching practice and add a new level of understanding for athletes and team staff members,” said Kent and Gallagher. They added that it “encourages coaches — and athletes — to live more fully as students of the game.”
