Words Have The Power To Overcome

When I started volleyball I was told I wasn’t good enough to be a volleyball player. I gave up volleyball. Then Panchy came and said to me I believe you can be a great volleyball player. Panchy's WORDS of encouragement gave me much-needed confidence and motivation. His words changed my life forever!

Words have the power to affect our lives. By believing in the POSITIVE WORDS spoken to me, I was able to pursue my dream. Even when faced with DOUBTS or LACK OF CONFIDENCE, I would stop and examine the WORDS and THOUGHTS AFFECTING ME negatively. Doing this shows ME THAT I must CHANGE the way I talk to myself (use AFFIMATIONS) or what others say to me...For instance, instead of saying "I can't do it", I now tell myself "I'm getting better and stronger every day". Through this practice, I have become more aware of the power of words and the impact they can have on my life.

Learning to choose the positive words that I hear and say has helped me to build confidence, stay motivated, and be successful. This has had a profound impact on my life and volleyball career!
