Coach Breanna Jones went above and beyond with the word “Mindset” as her team’s motto as it goes three layers deep.
Not only does it have a volleyball term within the word, but the word itself clearly addresses the mental aspect of the game.
Jones was not done as she made the word an acronym as well. The letter “M” stands for make the change. The letter “I” stands for Intensity. “N” means never let it show. “D” is don’t quit. “S” is sacrifice. “E” is no excuses. The final letter “T” stands for teammate.
