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.

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. —

Don't ask yourself what you did wrong; ask yourself what you did right.
