I want to start with what legendary basketball coach Coach Saban has to say about winning in basketball because these are really good quotes for volleyball players as well so I've included them here because alot of what coaches of other sports say can benefit volleyball players as well.
Here's what I had to say about Coach Saban's post...
It’s interesting how the word “elite” has become this trendy word to use .. more frequently in the past 2-3 years… but do we know what it really means to be an “elite” player?
.
.
To take on the responsibility to regularly do more and be more and accomplish more than everyone else you work or play with is alot harder than what most people are willing to do day in and day out.
It takes a special kind of person to carry that load and make it look easy.
It takes a special kind of person to really
want to excel at doing the dirty work.
It takes a special kind of person to rise above the rest and call for the ball and want to live with the pressure of having to score during the scariest most nerve wracking pressure filled moments in a game.. when no one else will step up and take on that responsibility out of fear and do it over and over again.
So ask yourself are you willing to do all that?

@cait.be.well is sharing her story with us today!
Caitlin was on the beach volleyball team at LSU (@lsubeachvb) and is now the Athletics Case Manager at Long Beach State University.
In her story she talks about being good at volleyball from a young age and how that had its rewards, how a diagnosis required her to stop all physical activity for months, and how athletes don’t understand retirement until they’ve gone through it.
Such an importance reminder that you are so much more than an athlete! Thanks for sharing, Caitlin💜
Here is the recipe….from Kobe Bryant

One of my good friends has a son who is a high-major athlete at a power 5 school.
The advice he gives to parents of athletes going through the youth sports experience and recruitment process is, "Just make sure they are good enough. If they are good enough, they will have an opportunity to play on top teams and play in college, but the second they stop being good enough, the opportunities stop too."
In his book, The Mamba Mentality, Kobe Bryant writes that he learned a lot from studying and watching Muhammad Ali. Here is what he wrote about Ali:
“One of the main takeaways was that you have to work hard in the dark to shine in the light.
Meaning: It takes a lot of work to be successful, and people will celebrate that success, will celebrate that flash and hype. Behind that hype, though, is dedication, focus, and seriousness - all of which outsiders will never see. If you stop being dedicated to the craft, the commercials and contracts will all fade away.”

Season 01 ep_21 | When we embrace the ‘we before me’ mentality, something extraordinary happens. Egos dissolve, and selflessness takes center stage.
Each player recognizes their role and understands that by working together, they can achieve more than any individual accomplishment could ever deliver.
You become more than just a group of athletes; you become a tightly knit family. You celebrate victories together and lift each other up in times of defeat. It’s a bond forged through shared experiences, countless hours of practice, and a common pursuit of excellence.
It teaches us that the whole truly is greater than the sum of its parts.
Today, let’s celebrate the essence of teamwork. Let’s honor the sacrifices, dedication, and unity that make champions. Embrace the ‘we before me’ mentality, fuel the fire of collaboration, and together, let’s create a legacy of greatness on and off the court.

I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.
Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.
If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
Here are three options:
