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

Shared victory is a double victory, shared defeat is half-defeat.

Don't ask yourself what you did wrong; ask yourself what you did right.

You have to learn every day. You can't be playing every day, but you can be practicing. If you cannot be practicing with a net and others daily, you still can be learning about the game by reading, watching and imaging. You must learn every day, if you want to be a real volleyball player. —

The pessimistic coach complains about the play. The optimistic coach expects it to change. The realistic coach adjusts what he can control.

Coaching is something that takes place only when learning does. No matter what you are doing in your practices, if your players are not learning something significant, you're really not coaching. If a player fails in a game, the coach may have failed in practice.

Trying simply provides an excuse for not doing.
