Being left-handed has its advantages in volleyball. Few people know enough about your spike and serve to give you advice.

There is nothing less important in life than the score after one game of a two out of three game match.

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

Trying simply provides an excuse for not doing.

You must allow your players to become the athletes they can be. Don't make them into anything just to become the kind of winners fans, friends and others think they must be.

Think positive, real volleyball happens too fast to think any other way.

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.
