Play your heart out each game, so you can look your teammates in the eyes and ask, without saying it, 'I played full out, did you?'

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 back down, never fear anyone, for the best opponents will help you to play your best.

A coach must sometimes see players with his heart, and hear them with his eyes.

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.

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

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