Through it all, the ball never lies.

Sports are complex, much like existence. So let's look at how you can apply this truism, "the ball never lies" to real life situations.

1. Athletic scenario: A blocker in the net in a volleyball game touches the ball, but the official doesn't see it along with the blocker's team gets the point. While the opposing team are screaming "touch! " and attractive to the refs and your line judges, the blocker innocently dates back to her place to the court. The next server rapidly serves the ball in the bottom of the web. The ball do not ever lies.
   
   
   True to life application: Things in life balance... it's the whole equal and opposite reaction issue. So I try to never get too high when things intend great or too low when things aren't going the way in which I'd like. Life contains a way of working itself out.



2. Sports scenario: The ball is an excellent teacher, it's almost like having another coach in the gym! If a player is actually serving and they get at least one crazy underspin, they contacted the ball underneath center. If the setter packages the ball too limited, then she needs to fix with her shoulders. Your hitter keeps wailing the ball using bounds? She's got to get on top of the ball. If we teach our teams that the ball shows them precisely what they're doing wrong, they'll be able to identify the problem and working on the solution... because the ball only will do what players tell it to undertake. The ball never lies.
   
   
   True to life application: Not to be able to do something the right way can be quite frustrating... even embarrassing. We've got to remember that every problem has a solution and sometimes looking critically in the problem will yield the solution.



3. Athletic scenario: You've gained two players. They're each of those awesome people, come to apply on time, work hard, and they're great and supportive teammates. They're also battling for a starting position. The first player, let's call the woman's Susie, can pass nails, hits the mess out of your ball, and is a hustler on defense. The other player, we'll call her Becca, watches balls hits the floor on defense, shirks from balls in lieu of passing them, and plays it safe in regards to attacking at the web. Both of these players are communicating with the ball... and I'm sure you can guess which conversation the coaches like best! Susie is getting the ball to perform for her in ways that Becca hasn't perfected yet, so Susie is actually our starter. It's not necessarily personal Becca. This ball never lies.
   
   
   Real life application: Results matter and the ones who can produce the best results will get the best opportunities. Sometimes we think the boss is playing favorites, when actually they're judging the products results. Or as a track coach once told me: "Yeah, I have faves. My favorites are the people who run the fastest! "

I'm sure coaches of other sports were reading this article and putting their sports spin on it... that's great! We really are teaching our athletes about the real world when they step into our courts and farms. Let's be sure to make those connections with our athletes so that they can see how their particular sports life can mirror their "real life".
