What Are the Little Things?

"The little things are the big things." There are no little things. 

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Be supportive. Bring energy. Celebrate small victories. Culture simplifies leadership. 

Talk. Talk. Talk. Channel Maggie Turner, the greatest on court talker ever.

MUDITA. "Your joy is my joy." Celebrating a teammate's success is a superpower. Envy is one of the seven deadly sins. 

"Grateful Red" Thank your families. Thank your teammates. Thank your coaches. 

No, No to Momo. Volleyball is a game of momentum. Stopping runs separates excellent from good. 

Sideline Hero If you're not in the game physically, be in the game mentally. Study the personel and strategy of your opponent. 

Reading Lessons Study the game looking for cues that "telegraph" the intentions of servers, setters, and hitters. The more you can learn by watching, the better you'll play when you get in there. 

Lagniappe. Coach puts you in the position to succeed. Listen.
