There's a balance between "sweating the small stuff" and "majoring in the minors," spending too much time on what doesn't matter. Exceptional teams don't give points away.
Communication. "Campfires" and collisions where players fail to communicate give points away. Talk. ELO - early, loud, and often. Be confident to speak.
Focus and Refocus. Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski reminded players, "next play." Don't allow a mishit, shanked ball, or other error bleed into the next play.
"Be a goldfish." Top players have short memories after a mistake (language).
Keep your head in the game. In real estate, it's location, location, location. Volleyball measures rotation, rotation, rotation. Rotation errors and mispositioning are unacceptable. They should never happen.
Fouls and violations. Every play scores or allows a point. For example, don't give points away with foot fouls or service delay violations.
Lagniappe. Who doesn't like pancakes?
