Club volleyball is a business. There is a bottom line and money is very important. Directors have to make choices that are best for each team and the club overall with each player and family. The choices made this season will affect the next season. Everyone in the club watches to see how things are handled from wrong shoes to removing a player for breaking code of conduct. It is a business... it's a small business and people do matter.
Coaches matter the most. They are the backbone of the whole club. I have said before and will again that in most people’s eyes, when the team wins they have the greatest players ever… And when the team loses the coach is the first one to blame. A coach has to look out for the whole team. Not just one or two players. The coach has the burden to make the decision that makes the whole team better. That glory and rush of winning is the best feeling in the world. The frustration and anger of losing is a pain that can't be described, only felt. Yes, club is a business, but let us all not forget that coaches have feelings too. They take winning personally and losing personally. If you have a coach that doesn't take the losses personally... then the business part kicks in and they should be fired.
