Mick Haley's formula for building team toughness is embodied in two words: building team. In this unique look into the inner workings of the USC Volleyball program, Sport Psychology Consultant, Mike Voight, takes you through USC's systematic, step-by-step formula that he and Haley developed, implemented and refined through eight years of success together that included back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2002 & 2003. Haley's 12-month formula begins at the season's end, i.e. off -season, where all aspects of the season are evaluated and where coaches and team leaders define the vision for the next season. This transitions into the pre-season team formation both on and off court that includes defining roles, team identity and accountability development. Next, is the in-season play phase characterized by developing quality in every phase of the game, followed by the championship phase of the season. Voight provides a detailed explanation of each seasonal phase showing sample meeting and planning forms and finished examples of how each process fits into the formula. This incredible off court presentation serves as a team development playbook that can be implemented with any team in any sport looking to unleash the power that comes from the heart of a united, single-focus team.

The goal of developing a culture of mental toughness in your team is a tall order given the fact that mental toughness cannot be measured or charted like other aspects of the game. Coach Rose views mental toughness on the court as "aggressive attitude with confidence and all of the skills to play the game." Skill-confidence leads to mental toughness and Rose feels it is essential to devise and conduct aggressive practice drills that repeatedly put each athlete and your team under challenging and stressful conditions. This will result in making high stress situations more familiar with the goal of "hardening" your athletes to stay on task during game duress. Rose's drills focus on developing mentally tough servers, passers, setters, hitters, competitors, back row players and the team as a whole. All of these drills provide unique challenges that will encourage your players to rally around their teammates in tough, competitive situations. Creating a mentally tough culture has earned Rose two national titles and it will give your team a new, competitive edge.
