sports volleyball player
Good players win volleyball games for you, not tall players.
sports volleyball errors
In volleyball there are many reasons for errors but not a single excuse.
sports optimistic play
The pessimistic coach complains about the play. The optimistic coach expects it to change. The realistic coach adjusts what he can control.
sports volleyball giving
The sport of volleyball will never give you something that you can't handle; whether you do handle it is another question.
sports attitude winning
You cannot turn your winning attitude on when you think you 'need it.' You must work on it every day, every practice, every match - win or lose. Focus on playing to win, not playing to lose, for there is a season of difference between the two.
sports player practice
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.
sports volleyball church
Volleyball is like going to church ... many attend, but few understand.
sports athlete player
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.
good might nominated sort stumbling won wonderful
I don't know if this is a stumbling block, but I had a real setback when I won a Nebula Award for the first story I ever had nominated for a Nebula in 1982. And you might think that was a good thing - and it was a wonderful thing, I don't regret it a bit. But I was sort of discombobulated by it.
