Coach Seeley’s philosophy is to 1. Raise the praise to a player: Highlight what they did right so they are motivated to continue using that correct technique. 2. Learning from positive failures can be our best lessons. The openness to fail forward will open the door to challenge themselves more without feeling they are risking everything. So, this creates a lot of opportunities for positive failures, which leads to a growth mindset. and finally: the ball is always, always, coming to you on the next touch. 

He is also looking to focus on structuring both their priorities in life and playing volleyball which leads to how they structure their days around those priorities every day to get the most bang for their buck every 24 hours. Time in a day is the only thing we all have the same amount of.
