Recommended volleyball books available on Kindle Unlimited
The ultimate volleyball viewing technique: Understanding the tactics of a game from the perspective of "numbers"
Author: Takahiro Yamamoto
Publisher: Kanzen
This is a recommended book for volleyball fans who are getting used to watching volleyball and want to know more about volleyball. If you are a volleyball fan, you may want to join Kindle Unlimited just to read this. Personally, I think this is the best book out of the many volleyball books out there.
Former Japan national team ace Takahiro Yamamoto provides detailed and easy-to-understand explanations of topics that are difficult to understand just by casually watching a game, such as the characteristics of each rotation and position, the intention of the serve, and the relationship between blocking and receiving.
By reading this, you will gain a much deeper understanding of what volleyball is, especially at the modern top category, and what the players are thinking while playing.
There is no doubt that if you read this book, your volleyball IQ will skyrocket and watching volleyball will become much more enjoyable!!!
This is a book that I would like not only volleyball fans, but also players, especially student players and coaches who play volleyball in club activities, to read. The basic concepts of volleyball are the same whether it's the top category or under-category such as students. I think this book will deepen your understanding of volleyball much more than the so-called volleyball textbooks.
The paperback version is priced at 1,650 yen (tax included), so we recommend taking advantage of Kindle Unlimited to read it all at a great price!!!
Making effort a habit
Author: Masahiro Yanagida
Publisher: KADOKAWA
This book was written by Masahiro Yanagida, a player on the Japanese national team. The title is "Making Effort a Habit," but it doesn't go into detail about how to make effort a habit (laughs).
However, this book is packed with "Yanagida philosophy" that can be used in any situation in life. Although it is a book written based on Yanagida's own experiences, I think it will provide many realizations and hints for life not only for athletes but for anyone.
It's a shame that the title "Making Effort a Habit" is so poor (lol). I myself avoided reading this book for a while after it was released because of the title, so I think more people would have read it if the title was different. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a book that's very worth reading.
This paperback costs 1,540 yen (tax included). This is also available with unlimited reading.
This book is available on Amazon's audiobook service.AudibleThis title is also eligible for the unlimited subscription plan. This is recommended for those who want to listen to it while working and absorb the contents.
Monthly Volleyball Back Issues
Publisher: Nihon Bunka Publishing
As of November 2023, Kindle Unlimited offers unlimited access to back issues of Monthly Volleyball from the November 2017 issue to the August 2021 issue. You can see the current Japanese national team players in their younger days, such as the January 2018 issue, which features an interview with Ishikawa Yuki after his final All-Japan Intercollegiate Championships, and the January 2020 issue, which features an interview with Takahashi Ai just before his victory at the Spring High School Volleyball Championship.
Anyway, it's a good deal! If you're even a little bit interested, give it a try!
Whether you read the volleyball books introduced this time or not, it's a great deal to have over 2 million books available for free for the first month (and the monthly fee of 980 yen is pretty cheap). Please take this opportunity to try out Kindle Unlimited!!
