Not every parent will like the coach or think we're doing a good job. Surely, some believed everything wasn't focused on the success of THEIR child. The coach's responsibility is to the team first, to the culture, the ecosystem that drives teaching and improvement.

Coaches want the team to reflect vision...generally one of togetherness and toughness. Toughness is physical and mental. 

If as a player, it's about you and you can't give your best to the team because you're not playing, you're not scoring, or you're not the hub, then maybe you're better off somewhere else.

As a player, what is your MVB skill? What gets you on the team, gets you on the court, adds value? If you expect to play a lot, how do you impact winning? Points score on serves, attacks, and some blocks. Point prevention occurs with blocks and digs.

The culture stands. It gets tweaked around the edges, but the ecosystem of competing every day has been in place for over two decades.
