| Muhammed Ali- Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was
I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''
I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round.
If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.
If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.
It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.
The man who has no imagination has no wings.
What keeps me going is goals.
His biggest fight yet,
isn't in the ring.

| Volleyball Quotes
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication just like any pro sport. Especially for beach volleyball you don't have to be tall or fast like other sports. You just have to have the skills.
-- Misty May
I grew up on the beach and played side-out scoring all my life, but rally scoring is better for our sport. There is pressure on every play. You can't make a mistake, but that also means your opponent can't make a mistake. It makes the matches more exciting to watch.
-- Holly McPeak
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.
-- Kerri Walsh
- Believe-
I Believe in PURE volleyball
Attitude + Altitude = SUCCESS
I Believe in HARDWOOD courts
The Team with the most floor burn-WINS
Forget the coin toss
I Want to see a joust serve
I believe nothing easy is worth HAVING
I Believe in being in a Hitters ally , NOT a Poser is knee pads.
I Believe in the let serve, or any good tape shot that runs down the net
I Believe a chip in the corner,but leave the dinks at home
-HIT THE BALL , OR HIT THE ROAD -
- I Team -
They told me there is no 'I' in team
- I am an athlete
- I am an individual
- I am strong
- I am weak
-I have desires, hopes , and dreams.
- i have goals
- i have fears
As a team my opponent will never see my weaknesses
ONLY my strengths, NEVER my fears , only my goals as the unfold before them
I am not afraid that my team will see my fears , my hopes, dreams or desires.
I Trust my team to an UNLIMITED level.
I am not afraid that my team will see my faults,
because with them i overcome my faults
With them i am fearless, With them i have hopes and dreams.
With my team i am not weak, i do not have strength of one athlete but many combined,focused and dangerous to my un-united opponent.
I Become my team , and my team becomes me
i do not judge , and I am not judged.
I have a goal , and the Team has a goal.
- They always told me there is no 'I' in "Team"-
They were wrong.
I am the team
I Become the team
The Team Became Me
The Team becomes an entity unto itself.
The Team is Strong, Creative , Compassionate , Caring, Authoritative, Disciplined.
The Team Absorbs "i" and then there is "i" in "Team"
The "i" becomes part of something MUCH more powerful.
- They were right,- There is no "i" in Team, But there is TEAM in -ME-
Volleyball is life--> everything else is just details.
Eat. Sleep. Live. Volleyball.
Dreams on the Court
-Looking through the net, the sound around me begins to fade. As the first whistle blows, my purpose in life has been altered. My existence here on Earth is now being evaluated through a single struggle: Staying between the ball and the floor. Through a constant struggle, it is a struggle I love to win, and will win. I achieve this through stealing victories from a floor that doesn't know limits to greed. In a game of anticipation and quick reactions, I cannot allow the ball to hit the floor. I drum up all of my will and energy to get every ball, remembering that saving a ball is like keeping a dream alive. I push my body to reach as far as it can reach, jump as high as it can jump, dive as far as it can dive, reminding myself that this is a small price to pay for a game that has given me so much. And when my body hits the floor so the ball does not, I realize I have won the battle. As the last whistle blows and the game has ended, I glare back at the lonely ball, grateful that it will soon join me again in my dreams on the court.-
Play every game like it's the last one your ever going to play.
Sportsmanship: Play honest, play fair.
Winning: Out hustle and outplay your opponent.
Attitude: Attitude will determine altitude.
Intensity: Go hard or go home
No Excuses: Do what it takes all the time without excuses
Natural talent only determines the limits of your athletic potential. It's dedication and a willingness to discipline your life that makes you great.
Do you remember why you play volleyball, or has it been too long? Is it because you’ve worked so hard to get where you are? Is it because you love being a part of the team? Is it because you don’t want to let anyone down, or yourself? Somewhere behind the athlete you’ve become, the hours of practice, the coaches who pushed you, and the teammates who believed in you, is the little girl who took that step- the one who fell in love with the sport and never looked back.
Someone once told me that it couldn’t be done; that I would fail; that made the victory that much sweeter.
Pain is only weakness leaving your body, so dont give up because it hurts keep going cause it makes you stonger.
Winners want the ball when the game is on the line.
Play with your heart and not your head.
-Tofer Ozga
For myself, losing is not coming in second. It’s coming off the court knowing I could have done better.
