Great article & stuff. Feel free to share your wisdom if coaching a more competitive level Club team as you mentioned in the first part of the article.
Hey Joe, first thing, I enjoy and get so much insight from your articles. I’m gonna stay supporting as long as I can!
I might’ve missed it in either this or in other articles but how did you calculate both FBK % and FBE % under First Ball Points in the sample stats sheet? I’m assuming you left more components out, but I was still wondering what the formulas were. Thank you so much!
FBK = First Ball Kill = (FBKs) / (Total Reception)
FBE = First Ball Error = (FBEs) / (Total Receptions)
"First Ball" means your first opportunity after the ball is served in to you. So just that initial pass-set-hit sequence. After the first time you put the ball over the net, you're no longer in "First Ball", you're now in, "Transition."
So First Ball Kill means you kill that first Pass-Set-Hit attempt and First Ball Error means you make either a hitting or setting error in that first sequence. (But not a passing error, that counts as a reception error for me.)

Will do; I'll get something on that up in the next series at some point. Thanks for the kind words!
