AboutTom Houser Expertise I can answer any type of volleyball question: school, college, club, coaching, playing, etc. (I am not, however, a athletic trainer! haha)
Can you believe that 25% of the answers that I send to people are never read? It's been really surprising to me. If you're going to take all that time to send me a question, how about taking a few minutes to read it! :) haha I will almost always answer your question within 24 hours.
Then would you please come back and grade my answer!

The Picture! The picture that you see is my team after winning the 52-team Capitol Hill Classic in February 2008 in Washington DC. We were the only undefeated team in the 15's division. However, they presented our awards to the team that won the SILVER division! haha So the tournament directors had to reorder our medals and our player's MVP trophy, then mail them all to us later!
Question Hi, I am also a high school math teacher. My question is my daughter is having trouble with her spiking the coach says she jumps to early. How can this be corrected? He never helps her just benches her and tells to to fix it. She has lost her starting middle hitter position because she always spikes into the top of the net. She has tried after the set to wait until a count of two. she has moved back on her approach. Nothing so far has helped and she is getting frustrated.
Answer Good morning and welcome to www.allexperts.com. I'm sorry it's taken me longer than normal to answer your question. I'm swamped with 8 consecutive camps, and my junior team is leaving for Nationals next Thursday!! So it's a pretty busy time!!
My answer to your question became so long that I'm going to use it as an article for Dave Cross's Gold Members at www.yesIcansports.com. However, I will share this article with anyone who will email me at coachhouser@yahoo.com.
Thanks again for visiting www.allexperts.com. I hope that you and I run into each other during Nationals, or maybe at a camp this summer. And please visit www.coachhouser.com. I think you'll like the pictures of my math classes. They sure are smiling!!
