Impactful leaders obsess over 3 things:
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) February 1, 2026
Talent - attract stars, amplify teams
Clarity - everything from vision to values
Systems - principles compounded by culture
Falling short? Overwhelmed?
Go back to the basics.
"Experiencing the volleyball program" has value far beyond learning individual skills and team play.
Coaches and players expand their talent.
Coaches and players develop systems for improvement.
Coaches and players develop identity and "role clarity." Learn "this is who we are" and "that is how we do it."
Team sports teach principles that persist through your life.
- Collaboration - working better with others
- Preparation - "preparation drives performance"
- Sacrifice - giving so that others flourish
- Leadership - making others around you better
- Urgency - leverage "the power of now"
- Enthusiasm - "nothing great is ever accomplished without enthusiasm"
- Grit - the capacity to keep going even when you don't feel like it
- Playing with force - mental and physical toughness
Winning is hard. That's why people value it so much. Teams flourish not by playing for their community, school, family, or even yourself. The "winning experience" means playing for the girls next to you. That's the reason to practice hard, communicate, dive on the floor - showing how to care for each other.
Lagniappe. Simple game...put the ball down and "keep the ball up." Keep more up with dolphin dives.
Lagniappe 2. Libero saves...what MVB players come to mind for making diving saves? So many. J-Mac (Jill MacInnes), Amanda Commito, GG Albuja to name a few. You can't make great saves without great athleticism.
Lagniappe 3. Amanda Commito... another underrated high performance athlete.
