The Volleyball Quote
My Club Players Were Most Inspired By

The most inspiring
volleyball quote of the year

The volleyball quote my players remember the most on DearVolleyball.com

The volleyball quote.

One of the coolest gifts I received from my players at the end of the 2017 Volleycats Elite VBC season was a huge jar filled with slips of paper.  

Each player wrote thoughts about their coach, or a testimonial, or a copy of the volleyball quote they were most inspired by this year. 

I love finding out what inspires a young female high school volleyball player, that's between the age of 13 - 17. 

That's when a lot of growth and self discovery takes place.

Having coached this age group in Vegas for so long now its awesome to understand what appeals to them, what motivates them, and see what sticks as the source of strength and inspiration. 

If these are examples of the quotes that inspired and motivated them in 2017, I'm sure one, a few or many will inspire you too.
