In volleyball there are many reasons for errors but not a single excuse.

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

There is no such thing as 'staying in shape;' you either work to get better, or you allow yourself to get worse.

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.

Coaches and players at the start must think their way through problems where a more experienced person would react out of habit and memory. One must not gain this experience, however, without being careful of empty redundancy. Do not fall into the error of the artist who boasts of 20 years of experience at his craft while, in fact, all he has had is one year - 20 times.

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. —

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