US volleyball coach Karch Kiraly builds 'escape room' training
Original: Why a legendary volleyball coach sets his team up for failure https://www. nytimes.com/athletic/7649070/2 026/10/02/us-v
Karch Kiraly, the legendary coach of the U.S. men's national volleyball team, has created an unusual 'escape room' training setup designed to deliberately place his players in failure situations. The idea is that struggling through unsolvable-feeling challenges teaches resilience and problem-solving better than comfortable drills. The unconventional method is drawing attention and debate about whether engineered failure really improves elite athletes.
Why now: The unorthodox 'learning through failure' method by a famous coach is novel and sparks debate about elite sports training.
