Nothing makes a player more productive than the last minute.

Good players win volleyball games for you, not tall players.

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.

If you are serious about volleyball, the only months to stop playing are those without a vowel.

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.

False teammates are like our shadows. They keep close to us when we are all walking in the sunshine, but they are gone the instant we just go into the shade, let alone the darkness.

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.
