The college volleyball offseason is seven months, and that’s a long time in the world of a player and coach.
There isn’t a next team on the schedule, and that’s a lot of training to push through when nothing is on the line.
Nebraska coach John Cook still likes to have a target, and that philosophy has worked out really well for the Huskers over the past five years.
It was about six years ago, when Penn State was at the top of college volleyball, that Cook said Nebraska started making decisions in training, recruiting and its playing systems based on what the Huskers would have to do to catch Penn State, especially on defense.
