This workbook investigates how the Personalized Sport Instruction (PSI) model can be systematically applied to teach volleyball fundamentals through a student-centered, modular framework. The authors, Jon Poole and Michael W. Metzler, leverage their expertise in physical education pedagogy to provide a structured approach that emphasizes individual progress and clear mastery criteria. By utilizing a workbook format, the text allows learners to manage their own skill acquisition while providing instructors with a standardized method for implementation and evaluation.

The text functions as a specialized pedagogical tool for physical education instructors and students seeking a rigorous, evidence-based approach to skill acquisition. Its reliance on the PSI model suggests a high level of technical focus, prioritizing structured progression over casual instruction.
