You can be harsh on your players and still coach, but it is easier when you are kind to them.

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 pessimistic coach complains about the play. The optimistic coach expects it to change. The realistic coach adjusts what he can control.

Coaches must be flexible, for then they won't get bent out of shape.

You have to learn every day. You can't be playing every day, but you can be practicing. If you cannot be practicing with a net and others daily, you still can be learning about the game by reading, watching and imaging. You must learn every day, if you want to be a real volleyball player. —

I am here to give my players the little push they need, just like they needed long ago, when first learning the art of the swing. All you needed then was a little push, and quickly you were pumping away, flying higher and higher, without any more help from the 'coach.'

Good players win volleyball games for you, not tall players.
