Warrior Mentality

From Coaching Toolbox.

Although this is written about basketball from Don Meyer, a remarkable figure and legendary teacher, it applies equally well to volleyball.

Excerpts:

You have a desire to excel for the benefit of those relying on you.

You finish playing and only your body leaves the floor your heart and soul are captured within the game.

You would rather encourage a teammate to success than benefit personally from his mistakes.

You think you can, and you do.
