The CARE Acronym

What do coaches examine when looking for players? Yes, you have to be able to play. Talent is always a prerequisite for success. But it takes more than talent to win and to win big.

You know the saying, "Before players care what you know they have to know that you care." There's symmetry for players.

When tryouts happen in August, coaches examine your skill, your volleyball IQ, your athletic explosiveness, and your "makeup" - attitude, desire, and effort. 

CARE about teammates, about playing, about succeeding, about improving. 

CARE 

C - concentrate on every play

A - anticipate...read the play as it happens not after it happens

R - react 

E - execute

Your commitment, preparation, and execution matter at home, school, workplace, and on the court.
