Mike Sealy: College volleyball's Phil Jackson

I think it's clear that Sealy has been frustrated about his team's ability to be really good sometimes, and very average others. So much so that he's looking for new ways to prepare his team. The latest? Don't tell them anything until the day before the match.

Sealy has stressed that the Bruins’ intensity needs to be at a higher level, and hopes that by not allowing them to get distracted by what’s ahead, they can focus on themselves.

Introspection. I like it. Very Buddhist. That light at the end of the tunnel? Pay no attention. It's probably not a train coming the other way...

“It’s not a switch that we can flip. … I told the girls, it’s a universal law that you can never get something for nothing,” Sealy said. 

Clearly Sealy isn't familiar with Heidi and Spencer.


But since the Bruins loss to USC, they've apparently been focusing on one thing. Lainey Gera, tell us what that is:

It’s more mentality-wise, we need to get stronger.

Mentally strong, as in "The trick is to realize there is no spoon"?

We need to get stronger and be ready to fight every single day in the gym and not just on game days. 

Ladies and gentleman, Sealy has started a fight club.
