Mindset

"That which we are, we are, and if we are to be any better, now is the time to begin." - Alfred Lord Tennyson

You have six months to prepare for the upcoming volleyball season. Coaches see right away who has done the work to grow their skill, game experience, and physical and mental resilience.

  • What are my personal values? (Performance)
  • What will it take for me to contribute?
  • Am I prepared to invest that time and effort? 
As parents, encourage children to take ownership of their habits, work ethic, grades, and more.

This young woman became an outstanding student, All-State volleyball player, and studies Data Science at a prestigious university. Accountability means holding yourself to high standards.
