More quotes by John Kessel
There is nothing less important in life than the score after one game of a two out of three game match.
John Kessel
False teammates are like our shadows. They keep close to us when we are all walking in the sunshine, but they are gone the instant we just go into the shade, let alone the darkness.

John Kessel
Use volleyball quotes to motivate your teammates to play hard.
John Kessel
Teachers all over the nation are doing the job they are asked to do, but one they are not really prepared to do. To teach volleyball as a physical activity that is also a positive experience. If you care about volleyball, help these teachers have fun and learn more of this great game. Teach the teachers.
