Culture, Continuity, and Construction

Pat Riley said, "A culture is simply a shared vision of what it is you want to do to get to where it is you want to go."

Your culture is reinforced daily. It's reinforced by:
• How you act.
• What you tolerate.
• The standards you uphold.

MVB doesn't solely describe the players on varsity. They get the most attention having earned and 'matriculated' through the system.

Many athletic programs exist in a school. The ones with consistent leadership, coaching, and development maintain or grow interest and those 'trees' bear fruit. 

You don't have to be the fastest or the strongest to find your way into volleyball. Athleticism and height help. But what matter most are competitive character and mental toughness. Those fuel desire for improvement and impacting the game. Of course, it's not just MVB but all competitors. 

Coaches want players who reflect their athletic and personal values - commitment, desire, effort, leadership, sacrifice, toughness. 

When fans see the JV players, they see bright future possibilities. Although we are not 'post COVID' in an epidemiologic sense, COVID damaged student-athletes across several classes; players and teams emerge from those doldrums.
