Season Starts on a VERY HOT Night!


A couple of thoughts as we now are officially underway. Through the mid-80's (when North opened) thru early 2000, North & CHS had many great matches & were consistently 2 of the best in the MAC & state. For most of the past 10yrs the rivalry has swung our way, but as evidenced last night, they still play us tough. 
Overall, since the MAC went to a single round-robin schedule in 1980, Clinton has finished in the top 3 in league 21 times. During that time we finished below .500 in league twice (1 of those was 4-5). So we hope, expect to be in the mix throughout the season. That's our goal, every year.

My statement on early retirement

I hope to be able to continue to serve the community and the school district in a variety of capacities. As AJ Hanafan might have said, “I'll always be a wildcat and a River King.” Both of my children are CHS grads. I've worked with many wonderful families, assistant coaches & administrators. The students/athletes I've had a chance to work with have been & are fantastic. I’ve always been appreciative of the confidence that Bill Holmstrom showed in me, way back in June, 1978. I think that we've built a solid program that the community & school can be proud of since then. “Do I plan on coaching in the future?” …. “I think I still may have quite a bit of coaching in me.”

3 Concerns for a Team


My brother posted this & i found it to be worth repeating:    It is from Bo Schembechler, the former Michigan coach.
3 Daily Fights:
1.   Division From Within
2.   Public Perception
3.  Daily Fatigue

Division from Within-
It is sometimes tough for a team to remain focused on the team. There are many forces which can tend to drive us to become selfish, focused on individual priorities, and lose focus on the team. Basic human nature tends to make us think I before We. Sometimes friends or family who are not as invested in TEAM, will encourage players to become self-centered. Experts in the dynamics of successful teams refer to the "diesease of me,"- teams cannot be successful when players become more concerned with their noteriety than the team and their teammates.

Public Perception-
Too often teams and players can be misinterpreted by the public. The public can be fans, parents, and the community. "The Public" can mistakingly think the priority of the team is something different than the players and coaches believe is the priority of the team. The team- players and coaches- have to keep getting the message out- this is who we are, this is what we are about, this is what our goals are. If the team- players and coaches- don't keep publicly defining who they are then others will try to define them.

Daily Fatigue-
It is easy to say you want to win. It is easy to want to win and be excited in August. It is easy to be excited and want to win on game night. The key is whether players can make themselves excited, energized, and ready to work on a weekday in a hot gym when practice is going. A key is whether a player can focus and concentrate when they are into the second hour of practice. As Jerry West says, "You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good."

Where do All Staters come from??

All Staters perform during the season, they may convince observers of their talent during the season, they help their team during the season. All-Staters are made through their hard work & dedication to volleyball. All Staters are made in small gyms during club season, hot gyms during camps in the summers, strange places that you perhaps can't even find during club season or in the summer at a camp. All staters are made beginning TODAY! All staters aren't randomly selected, they're the product of hard work!!
