Perfect Game

We talk a lot about improving our process with our young players. Process comes about from skill development, athletic sports performance training, and mental training. We introduce sports psychology early and reinforce it on a regular basis to complement the physical abilities of the girls with 'mental toughness'. In the sport of basketball, legendary coach Bob Knight says, "the mental to the physical is four to one".

You get a quality product (the ultimate goal of process) by applying what you know and can do consistently, to maintain the play 'trajectory' that brings quality.

The 2011 team has achieved some milestones already - first senior class with four twenty win seasons, best record in the ML after the large-small split, record ninth consecutive sectional championship appearance - but the immediate goal is to sustain the best volleyball for the next game.


Melrose has the capacity to play at a high level against the best teams in the state. You can assist development of your mental "highlight reel" by incorporating elements of actual highlights.

Attitude is everything.
