Twenty plus years watching Melrose volleyball reveals truths. Sport dispenses unfettered joy and immeasurable pain.
1) Control what you can control. What you control is your attitude, your choices, and your effort.
2) What has happened before can happen again.
3) This is not a union job. There is no seniority. If there is an eighth grader practicing and playing at a high level who is a rising freshman, she can earn the job.
4) "Become more to do more; do more to become more." In the long run, "you earn your paycheck" - minutes, role, and recognition.
5) Sometimes the best players on the team have been four year varsity players and on one it was a freshman.
6) The more skills you have, the better your chance to contribute. There's symmetry in volleyball:
- Attacking - blocking
- Serving - passing - digging
- Setting
