Power Without Obligation - "I Don't Know Anything About That Yet"

"Normalize 'I don't know anything about that yet' as a successful answer." - from a disappeared Twitter post

Volleyball is power and finesse, smiles and tears. A mother once told us her daughter was inspired by watching our daughters soar above the net. The daughter became an all-time great. 

Do more than play; inspire. You have the power but not the obligation to transform ordinary into extraordinary for a little girl you don't know. "Be a good ancestor." 


Bring your best self to the court. Polls don't count. MIAA power rankings determine seedings but not winners. What matters is continual improvement, listening to the coaches, and believing in each other. 

Melrose faces Stoneham Friday. The Spartans will look to spring the "trap game" and take advantage of a new MVB lineup. 

Lagniappe. Making do setting the tough second ball.
