ENDORSEMENTS FROM THE "YES, I CAN!" VOLLEYBALL CAMPS AND CLINICS:
"Within a week of starting to use your techniques I noticed an
improvement in my game both mentally and physically.
"Yes, I Can!" increased my confidence and helped me believe
I could do anything I set my mind to. It's awesome!!"
-Lindsay Abbott, Defensive Player of the Year, Clemson U.-'02
"Mahalo so much for this fantastic, exciting, and motivating book.
VOLLEYBALL CYBERNETICS teaches us a better understanding of our self-image,
attitudes, emotions, self comfort zone and so much more. Anyone seeking to
achieve success in life can benefit from reading your book and we will
definately be using it in our program!"-Budgie Baker, Volleyball Coach,
Lanakila Unit of the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii, Former AIAW First Team
All-American, University of Hawaii-Hilo.
"Our team had instant
and impressive results using the mental training and visualization
techniques taught in the 'Yes, I Can!' Day Clinic. The training
tips provided a solid base to enhance performance and concentration during our practices and game situations. These techniques certainly were a priceless component to the level of success our team was able to achieve during the season-which was the best in school history! Thanks Dave!"
-Laura Mandell, Head Women's Volleyball Coach, Clarkson U., Potsdam, NY
"The 'Yes, I Can!' camp was a positive
experience for my players. Jason and Jenn, the clinicians, created a
fun environment for the girls, which allowed them to open their minds
to the concepts and philosophy in 'Volleyball Cybernetics.' Our varsity
team went on to have a 20-win season, the first in over a decade. Our
JV went undefeated at home. We owe much of our success to the 'Yes, I
Can!' camp."
-Scott R. Furtwengler, Associate
Director-University Honors Program, Southern Illinois University

"We hosted a 'Yes I Can!' camp this
past summer and WOW! was it great for my girls. We had girls from
the junior high level all the way up to the high school varsity level -
each level got so much out of the positive message and focus on
fundamentals that Dave Cross and his assistant brought to our
school. At the high school level, a varsity player of mine told
me at this year's Regional Tournament that Dave's
Ultimate Serving Method was the best thing that ever happened to
her. It gave her confidence and focus before each serve and she
improved both her serving percentage and increased her aces per
game. At the Junior High level, one of my 7th grade players who
attended the camp is one of only two 7th graders to make the
competitive Borough Team. She was very motivated by the camp's focus on
positive mental attitude and believing in oneself. She bought one
of Dave's 'Living the Miracle' CDs and listens to it almost every
night. It has helped her improve her game in every sport she
plays and she is a three sport athlete! Even though the logistics of
getting Dave and his assistant coach to our tiny town at 'the end of
the road' in Alaska were challenging - it was well worth the
effort. I would welcome him back to do a camp any time - it is
great to be able to give today's athletes the tools they need to be
self-motivated, self-confident and self-directed - which ultimately
makes them better team players and better
athletes. Thanks Dave!"
-Beth Trowbridge, Head Volleyball
Coach, Homer H.S., Homer, Alaska

“'The “Yes, I Can!' Volleyball Camp is the most complete camp I have
ever experienced. Using good skill technique instruction, drills and game
play they taught our players to use their mind to take their skills to the
next level and beyond!”-June Ver Schave, Head Coach-Mt. Assisi Academy,
Lemont, Illinois.
"The 'Yes, I Can!' Volleyball Camp is the
most positive, uplifting, and highly
instructional camp that as a coach
in this sport since 1975 I have ever
participated in. The staff at 'Yes, I Can!'
brings to the table an unbelievable
amount of experience. The size of the coaching
staff also makes for a lot of personal one
on one instruction for these young athletes.
I was able to observe my own players this
season apply what skills they had developed
at 'Yes, I Can!'. The skills weren't measured
in just passing, setting, or attacking. They
were also measured in how to build a good
aggressive, positive attitude-a skill that
you can use all of your life. Do I plan on
being at the 'Yes, I Can!' Camp in Oberlin in
July 2002? Yes I do!
As a parent of young kids, I also appreciate
the active schedule, the fun,the limited
numbers of campers per female coaches in the
dorms, as well as the security at Oberlin College."-
Coach Jim Snellenberger,Greenfield Volleyball Club,Greenfield, Indiana.
"I would like to take the time and thank
you for conducting the 'Yes, I Can!'
camp at our school last July. The
information the team and I received
was put to good use and the results
showed. We finished with the best
season in our school's 17 year history.
Our final record was 20-5 with a fifth
place finish at State. I had numerous
players receiving individual awards and
recognition. With a positive and "I can
do anything" attitude, the girls showed
they could accomplish anything. I am
looking for greater things this upcoming
2002 season. Thanks again!-Coach Mark Williams,
Lutheran High School,
Salt Lake City, Utah
"'Yes, I Can!' is a program that focuses on strengthening both the mental and
the physical aspects of the volleyball. After just one day of camp with
Dave, my girls' mentality toward the game was so intense and inspiring to
watch. It was the first time I truly saw each of my girls not only give
110% in working to improve their own skills but also to come together as a
team with the common attitude of 'Yes, We Can!'. -Coach Kari Wiersema, Allendale
H.S., Allendale, Michigan

Basketball Cybernetics, we have compiled 50 wins and 1 loss
and two straight Class 4A Championships!" - Dick Switzer-Concordia H.S.
"I have personally seen the effects of the positive mental attitude philosophy of 'Yes, I Can!'. We were 10-7 heading into the last week of the season. We lost our last three games because we couldn't shoot. The player's confidence had really dropped. I called Dave Cross down to talk to my team and it was worth it. We not only won our first tournament game, but we also won the District for the first time in 22 years. We played in the Regional Finals for the first time in school history. I truly believe that none of that could have happened if it were not for the 'Yes, I Can!' formula. I have seen the success of player's believing in themselves.
