Kids on a team are like flowers in a bouquet, there is always one that wants to face a different way than the arranger desires.

Volleyball is like going to church ... many attend, but few understand.

Profit by your own mistakes and profit by the mistakes of others. The referees were calling ball handling violations like they were getting commissions.

There are three choices in life and sport - either you do it, you don't do it or you think about it. Most humans think about it. We will do it.

Play your heart out each game, so you can look your teammates in the eyes and ask, without saying it, 'I played full out, did you?'

Never mishandle hope or self-confidence - those are elements of life, not just a game.

Good players win volleyball games for you, not tall players.

Never back down, never fear anyone, for the best opponents will help you to play your best.

Lavish love on others receive it gratefully when it come to you. Cultivate friendship like a garden. It is the best love of all.

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.

The sound that I play is delayed, it's modified, and it's modulated. It's an intelligent system; it's happening now.

The only person I ever hurt was myself and even that I did to the minimum. If you can do that and you're still functioning, you're the luckiest person in the world.
