When Fate Calls

In 1985, the UCONN AD told the women, "we'll get you the best woman coach we can find." They asked why the AD wouldn't get them the best coach available. UCONN hired Geno Auriemma and eleven national titles ensued. 

Preparation is physical (skill, conditioning, sleep, nutrition), mental (study, game planning, resilience under pressure), and freedom from self-defeating behaviors including chemical health. 

Always being prepared lessens the possibility of regret. 

Over twenty years ago, Melrose had no volleyball tradition or titles, but leadership and players committed to succeed. While "tradition never graduates," exceptional players do and MVB has to work even harder to stay successful.  

Lagniappe. Exercises that work for volleyball, too.  

Lagniappe 2. What obstacles can block the path of success? 

  • Complacency. Never be satisfied. 
  • Comfort. Leave your comfort zone to grow. 
  • Consistency. Bring your best version daily.
