Coaching is about sharing your knowledge and passion about Volleyball. In all my years of coaching I never looked for accolades, I looked for improvement. Improvement in ability and technique but perhaps more importantly in attitude, both inside and outside the sports hall, towards team mates and opposition. Watching players grow and develop was my gold medal.

A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life. John Wooden, former UCLA basketball coach

As their coach, your job is to set the bar high, inspire them to reach this bar, encourage them, and most of all, guide them in the best possible manner and in the most supportive environment. John Popovich

Coaches and the people they coach know that for the future to be different, we need to change the way we do things in the present.... More often, changes involve shifts in attitudes, thinking, perceptions, and behavior. Gary Collins
