Coach's Expectations and Quotes:
 
12/17/06
 
In our attempt to become champions on the volleyball court, we must also learn to be champions in the game of LIFE. We have high standards and expectations and we expect these from every Samurai player that steps on the floor.
 
Act like a champion
 
Excel in the class room. You will either pay the price now or you'll pay a bigger one later!

Play hard. Always give your best.
 
Play with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm shows the world that you're excited and have a passion for what you're doing. Get excited and enjoy what you're doing!
 
Play smart. Stay focused and manitain a high level of concentration.
 
Be coach-able. These are the people that win championships.
 
Be a leader. Leaders are people that show the way and lead by example.

Roger Staubach

To succeed, you must first improve,
To improve, you must first practice,
To practice, you must first learn,
To learn, you must first fail.
Wesley Wo

You can't keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you've lost it, you can never get it back."
Harvey Mackay
 

Ancient Samurai saying:        

Warriors take chances. Like everyone else, they fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them.

 

"A man/woman with deep far-sightedeness will survey both the beginning and the end of a situation and continually consider its every facet as important." ...

the pain of discipline or the pain of regret?
REMINDER to team: Pain is temporary  (unless Mike is your coach ;-)) but oh how we love the burn...: D

(taken from Kim's profile)

"I will overcome, overpower and overturn all obstacles.  I will not let anyone or anything impact my attitude.  I will stay committed to my goals.  I will check, recheck, balance and counter balance, measure and be measured to the highest standard of excellence.  I will not give up, give in or give place to the fear of defeat.  I will never forget who I am, why I am here and where I am going.  I will not let anyone or anything steal my joy.  I will leave everything I have on the court and walk off a winner every time."

  • Sugars give you immediate energy, but often is followed by a  drop in blood sugar, and fatigue.
