The substitute that thinks his place below him, will certainly be below his place.

Most of us are referees at heart; we like to call throws and errors on someone else.

Most volleyball players are made in the winter, spring and summer, for come fall, everyone practices equal time.

Never underestimate your players; they can do it with enough game-like practice. Coaches must put more emphasis in practice and in life on making student-athletes aware of what they could or can do, rather than what they couldn't or presently can't do. The focus must be on solutions, not problems; what is wanted, not what is feared.

Coaches and players at the start must think their way through problems where a more experienced person would react out of habit and memory. One must not gain this experience, however, without being careful of empty redundancy. Do not fall into the error of the artist who boasts of 20 years of experience at his craft while, in fact, all he has had is one year - 20 times.

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.

There are three choices in life and sport - either you do it, you don't do it or you think about it. Most humans think about it. We will do it.
