Mr. Diers

"Trust is in the little things like being on time, being consistent, and being present on a daily basis." This means that with volleyball (year round not just during season) I need to always arrive to practice at least 10 minutes early, always give 100% 100% of the time, and come to every practice, open gym, weights, etc. even if I really don't want to be there. By doing small things like this I can earn the trust of my teammates. Also, "empowering good people" is important in leadership because soon enough you will be gone and it's your responsibility to have great leaders stepping up behind you. In my opinion that's the biggest part of helping Palisade sports...preparing younger people for the great role they will be expected to fill.

That quote is very inspirational because it's saying that the only way you ever have a chance at succeeding is if you step out and try. Someone who gives their all, even if it results in failing, is much more credible, respectable and honorable than someone who was too scared to take a chance, to take a step into the unknown, for they are the cowards who deserve nothing. As Jay Bilas said, "The most important play in any game is the next one."
