"I’ve been working with Mary for almost 7 years now. Over that time, I have played high school volleyball, been recruited to play Division 1 volleyball, moved across the country to NY, grappled with my love for the game, dealt with some frustrating coaches, worked on my communication skills with my teammates, and graduated college. Essentially, I’ve grown up in my time with Mary.
Mary has this inexplicable feeling of wisdom when you talk to her. She was finally someone outside of my coaches and parents that I could explain my situation to, and she could offer a new perspective. What Mary told me in our first meeting has become one of my favorite phrases to date. She said, “You need to be in the moment, Al. That’s all you can focus on is that one moment. If you think about your last mistake, you’re more likely to make mistakes again, and if you’re thinking too much about the next play, you won’t be able to perform well in the present.” In three sentences, Mary Fineis made me feel okay. I had a plan now. We went on to win the first state championship in school history, and at every point, I could just hear Mary’s voice in my head. That voice in my head has become my own, and I’m forever grateful for that kernel of knowledge because not only do I feel present in the moment during volleyball, but in my regular life. I feel more attuned to my surroundings, and more content focusing on what’s happening at the current moment."
