Title: **Building Confidence and Motivation in Young Volleyball Players Through Persistence and Resilience**

How can I help my player stay motivated and confident when they are struggling with mistakes or not getting as much playing time as they want? *"Success is not the absence of failure; it’s the persistence through failure."* — Aisha Tyler This quote was chosen because young volleyball players often face mistakes and setbacks, whether from errors on the court or limited playing time. It reminds them that struggling doesn’t mean they’re failing—it’s part of the process. Staying motivated and pushing through challenges is what leads to success in the long run. Encourage players to view mistakes and setbacks as growth opportunities. Persistence, not perfection, leads to success. Support their confidence by reinforcing effort, resilience, and long-term improvement rather than immediate results or playing time. Persistence through setbacks fuels lasting success.
