"Get Out of the Bucket"

Sport challenges us to "learn from mistakes" AND "have a short memory." 

Oakland GM Billy Beane discussed his shortcomings as a player in Moneyball. He explained that when he struggled in a game with a couple of strikeouts, he couldn't get past it.

Volleyball can be a momentum game. When you shank a ball, hit into the net, or make other errors, don't allow one play to 'bleed' into a series of bad plays. Exceptional players shake it off.  

Among skill, strategy, physicality, and psychology the message is to stay resilient with self-regulation and help teammates through it.
