Obligations

All opinions in the blog are solely my own. 

What does MVB mean for you? Reflect on lessons from James Kerr in Legacy. 

“Leave the jersey in a better place.” MVB is about more than quality volleyball, although a double digit string of league titles, ten sectional titles, and a State Championship matter. 

MVB spawned elite student-athletes and many graduates with advanced degrees and postgraduate achievements. MVB is also closing in on twenty players earning All-State recognition.

Additionally, MVB has earned the coveted Sportsmanship award from the MIAA.

Coach Scott Celli earned HoF status and his coaching tree bore fruit as Kayla Wyland led her club to the D3 Final Four last season.

“Be a good ancestor.” Set an example for future MVB players through your conduct at home, in school, on the court, and in the community. Always represent yourself and MVB in a professional way. Never be a distraction.

Like a stone thrown into a pond, you create ripple effects. Remind yourself of the Greek proverb, “Old men plant trees in whose shade they will never sit.”

Think not of the privileges conferred by MVB but the obligations.
