Shared victory is a double victory, shared defeat is half-defeat.

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.

There are two basic situations in volleyball - either you got the ball or you don't.

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

False teammates are like our shadows. They keep close to us when we are all walking in the sunshine, but they are gone the instant we just go into the shade, let alone the darkness.

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.

If there is something a coach might wish to see changed in a player or team, the first place to check and see if it could not be done better is in yourself.
