Where the Rubber Meets the Road

Quotes don't matter. Promises don't matter. Action matters.

1. Name one thing you did yesterday to prepare for the upcoming season - skill practice, strategy (e.g. video study), physicality (strength, plyo), psychology (mindfulness, visualization). 

2. Name one thing you're doing today to improve. 

3. Name one thing you will do tomorrow to improve. 

Make it obvious. Put a volleyball on your dresser?

Make it attractive. Put a picture of the team on your dresser?

Make it easy. Find a teammate to share your workout. 

Make it satisfying. Picture yourself on the court in the fall during a game, experiencing the excitement and opportunity.  

From a summary of Don Yaeger's Great Teams (my italics):

5. GREAT TEAMS HAVE A ROAD MAP

Every Great Team lays out its plan for finding success in a clear and concise road map. To help navigate that vision, a successful organization has an active, well-designed training program with end goals in mind. This plan is the fabric of an organization's culture, and all involved in it understand the importance of following the road map to reach their desired success — even if the journey is a long one.
