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

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.

The substitute that thinks his place below him, will certainly be below his place.

An advantage to volleyball is that you have a scoreboard to tell how you have done as a team. The thing is, in life there is no scoreboard, at least not one that you can see.

Alter strategies and tactics, but never your principles.

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.

There are three choices in life and sport - either you do it, you don't do it or you think about it. Most humans think about it. We will do it.
