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.'

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

Alter strategies and tactics, but never your principles.

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.

It is ok to err, but it is not ok to stop playing; it is ok to lose, but it is not ok to give up.

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.

Most of us are referees at heart; we like to call throws and errors on someone else.
