What are some of the different preferences or profiles in the action type model?

So you have, um, you have four categories of profiles, right? So, um, imagine a four times four matrix, and you have, um, you know, one column that are so-called distal profiles because they are very good, very far away from their, their body.

They have very great hand-eye co-coordination.

You have the so-called G profiles.

They're, they are global, like they use a gross motor skills.

Those are the ones that usually don't look very fluid.

They like to act very close to the body.

Can you, can you go into the assessment, how you assess when you have an athlete joining your program, what your process is?

So with all that being said, that's a big, uh, way to start it, but, uh, yeah, what, what made you want to adopt a different way?

Um, there's a very simple answer to that and a very complex answer to that, and I think that question is very loaded, so it can easily, you know, um, go on for two hours to explain that.

But the very easy explanation is that despite all the success that we've had as a, like, small beach volleyball nation, which we're incredibly proud of, I've also seen a lot of players leave the system because they didn't fit the system or they didn't fit into the, into the system, and that makes me incredibly sad, and it breaks my heart to see players have to move out of the system or go somewhere else, um, because they do not, um, fit a certain style, right? So that's, that's a very, that's a very personal answer.

Um, a more elaborate answer would be, first of all, be- just because, um, we've had a lot of success, it's very difficult to pin down the root cause of that, uh, success, right? You know, it could be a training philosophy, it could be a certain technique, it could be all kinds of factors.

It's very hard to, to pin down, um, which factors eventually led to, um, elite performance.

It could also just be, you know, it worked for a couple of players, um, during a certain time period, um, under certain circumstances.

And with that being said, there's always room to improve, even if a system is successful, and I'm always looking for ways to improve.

Um, but yeah, what are your thoughts on, on making those decisions as a coach? Like, how do you decide where, where do I, where do I go?
