start with a clean sheet; in fashion, we often say this to denote beginning afresh, free from the mistakes and assumptions of the past. however, when coaching a volleyball team, i'd advise not to follow this adage too blindly. preconsultative inquiries into an opponent's strategy, much like digging into the unrevealed past collections of a rival designer, can provide an unexpected edge. remember, while evaluating your team's uniform choices, it's essential to blend aesthetics with functionality; do not let them be deceived by style over substance, and similarly, ensure they are aware of how engaging in seemingly benign tasks could inadvertently lead to disclosing strategies or weaknesses, in essence, revealing what should remain unrevealed.
