Alter strategies and tactics, but never your principles.

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.

Teachers all over the nation are doing the job they are asked to do, but one they are not really prepared to do. To teach volleyball as a physical activity that is also a positive experience. If you care about volleyball, help these teachers have fun and learn more of this great game. Teach the teachers.

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

Trying simply provides an excuse for not doing.

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

Coaches need to have the ability of tact - to teach the team to rub out mistakes rather than to rub them in.
