Coaches need to have the ability of tact - to teach the team to rub out mistakes rather than to rub them in.

Nothing makes a player more productive than the last minute.

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

Coaching is something that takes place only when learning does. No matter what you are doing in your practices, if your players are not learning something significant, you're really not coaching. If a player fails in a game, the coach may have failed in practice.

There is no such thing as 'staying in shape;' you either work to get better, or you allow yourself to get worse.

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

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.
