Volleyball rules are simple. If it is on the floor, pick it up and get it into the air. If it is in the air, keep it off the floor. —

The sport of volleyball will never give you something that you can't handle; whether you do handle it is another question.

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.

No jockey ever won a race by carrying the horse across the finish line; no coach ever won a volleyball match by touching the ball during play.

Never mishandle hope or self-confidence - those are elements of life, not just a game.

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.

Too many players are so afraid to do anything that they seldom venture to do anything.
