the best advice I learned from an old coach of mine, is "its ok to make a mistake, just dont make the last mistake. Dont end the point". If there is a ball in front of you, lay out for it. If you are a setter and recieve a bad pass, put something easy in play to your back row. If you are hitting and recieve a bad set, roll something deep middle and get ready to block.
THe worst mistakes are always the ones which ends points. You will always get a bad pass, or set, but it is still within your control to put the ball in play and keep the point alive. By keeping the point alive you allow your team to win the game with its defense. Your team will feed off this approach to the game, and will be more inspired to continue to play their best, and not overly cautious.
