You must allow your players to become the athletes they can be. Don't make them into anything just to become the kind of winners fans, friends and others think they must be.

Players need you to care, especially when they do not deserve it.

Work hard - beat out half the team. Be committed, play fair as a team player - Beat out another quarter of the team. The last quarter is your desire and beliefs, and where you are playing.

Kids on a team are like flowers in a bouquet, there is always one that wants to face a different way than the arranger desires.

The wise coach takes all the heat when his players lose, and gives them all the credit when they win.

Think positive, real volleyball happens too fast to think any other way.

Play your heart out each game, so you can look your teammates in the eyes and ask, without saying it, 'I played full out, did you?'
