athlete fighting ends
We have to fight the entire time, we can't start at the end when it's getting down to crunch time. We can't leave anything on the floor.
believe vision love-respect
I firmly believe that when you have a foundation of respect, love of what you're doing, and a shared vision, so much is possible.
volleyball hard-work work-out
If you are not prepared, you cannot work out intensely. If you do not perform, you cannot get results, and if you can't do your best to recover, you won't get the benefits of your hard work.
volleyball heart games
To me, crying is not a sign of weakness. She wants it that bad and she puts her whole heart into it. She had really high expectations, and that's why she's so good. She just had a bad game.
growing-up support-systems needs
You have to rely on your support system. Growing up, I always thought it was a sign of weakness to ask for help, but now I realize it's really a sign of strength to say, 'I need help, I can't do it all.'
sports volleyball screw-ups
You touch every other ball and, if you screw up, you only have one more person to back you up. You can't go hide in the corner.
athlete adversity ifs
Adversity, if you allow it to, will fortify you and make you the best you can be.
wall past mind
That wall is your mind playing tricks on you. You just need to say, 'One more step, I can do this. I have more in me.' You'll be so proud of yourself once you push yourself past your threshold.
believe long battle
Breathe, believe, and battle.' My former coach, Troy Tanner, told us that before each match. Breathe-be in the moment. Believe-have faith that you can rise above it. Battle-you gotta be prepared to go for as long as it takes.
sports passion winning
Passion is a huge prerequisite to winning. It makes you willing to jump through hoops, go through all the ups and downs and everything in between to reach your goal.
care competitors hardest
A true competitor works the hardest, cares the most, and makes the best of what they have.
want better-than-you right-now
I don't want to be better than you or her or him - I want to be better than I am right now
against playing prefer
I much prefer playing with her than against her.
