Success is hard. Sustained success is even harder.

Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.”

Systems are your collection of habits and standards. It's not enough to put in the time. Put in the work.
Success happens in volleyball by scoring more points and minimizing errors...both physical (inconsistency) and mental (decision-making).
The best teams excel at managing details - reading setters and attackers, getting to blocks quickly instead of "ball watching," and by communicating so that no points are "given away."
About a third of sets are decided by three points or fewer. So the margin of error is small, making every point meaningful.
Lagniappe. Exceptional coaches are demanding without demeaning. Successful players are coachable and accountable.

It’s not the playbook.
It’s:
- Holding kids accountable when no one else does.
- Helping them believe in their potential before they see it.
- Teaching them lessons that outlast the game.
