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

An advantage to volleyball is that you have a scoreboard to tell how you have done as a team. The thing is, in life there is no scoreboard, at least not one that you can see.

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

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.

Use volleyball quotes to motivate your teammates to play hard.

Volleyball is like going to church ... many attend, but few understand.

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?'
