Learn from other sports and experience and extrapolate to volleyball.
Bob Knight says that basketball is "a game of mistakes" and that better teams reduce the number of mistakes.
Dave Smart says "every day is player development day." Platform skills, attack and block footwork, attack and block handwork need continuous refinement.
Stay humble. Dean Smith said, "a lion never roars after a kill." Success is something to build upon, not brag on. The only poll that matters is the one after the playoffs.
"Control what you can control." Stoic philosophy. Serving is the only aspect of volleyball under your total control.
General Alexander Suvorov, "the general who never lost," preached "always forward." Aggressiveness matters.
Learn every day. Be a continuous learner. Congressional Medal of Honor winner Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, hero of the Battle of Little Round Top at Gettysburg said, "I can learn."
Stay positive and do the work. Be focused and as told by John Wooden, "Make every day your masterpiece."
Bill Belichick, via Sun Tzu, believed "utilize strengths, attack weaknesses." Volleyball isn't baseball as you don't have to go through the batting order. You can go to your "big hitters" and better strategies as much as possible. Restate as "do more of what works and less of what doesn't."
Lagniappe. Worth a follow.
