"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."
