Fingerprints

"Success leaves fingerprints." 


Teams build success on the shoulders of teams that came before. Success means focus and resilience in the moment. 

The product of culture is teamwork. 

  • Maintain a welcoming culture. Melrose volleyball has always done that without hazing or 'bigfooting'.
  • Play for the girl next to you.
  • Know your job and that of teammates. 
  • Excel in your role while working to expand it. 
  • The most successful people are 'ambitious givers' not takers. 
  • Stay positive and forward-looking, win or lose. 
  • The currencies of sport are minutes, role, and recognition. Exceptional teams thrive off sacrifice; exceptional lives reflect it. 
At the recent Hall of Fame ceremony, former Athletic Director Sonny Lane thanked his wife Paula and family for their sacrifices - missed time, missed family activities, missed meals. Before you know it, your time runs out. 

"Objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear."
