Mastering the skills of self discipline is what enables a person to become an accomplished elite athlete.— Mike Hebert

The difference between a good hitter and an average hitter is simply not visible-it is a matter of record— Michael Lewis
Naturally torturers giggle while they work: The body's dumb obedience to physics (pull hard enough and this comes off, squeeze tight enough and that pops out) against which the nuances of the victim's personality count for nothing has in it one of the roots of comedy - the spirit's subservience to the flesh. You can cut a head off and shove it in a bag, stick it on a pole, play volleyball or footie with it. Hilarious, among other things.— Glen Duncan

The biggest concern with female athletes is they don't naturally compete. And so I think a part of what we do here exceptionally well that separates us from other programs is we train them to compete.

So that's a huge challenge for me, to get the women in practice to go after each other the way you would a rival— Anson Dorrance

I had learned volleyball in the Navy, where all the captains and admirals wanted to be spikers, and I found then that a man who can subdue his own desires and master the art of serving others can make himself invaluable.
