Cross-Posted: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

From my basketball blog...

How does that apply to volleyball? 

The Good

  • Be consistent and aggressive.
  • Read the play - CARE, concentration-->anticipation-->reaction-->execution  get to the ball, get to the block a step earlier
  • Constantly work on technique - platform, footwork, armswing, hand contact... the sooner you have mastery of the skill, the sooner applied
The Bad
  • Always be focused. It's about THIS play. 
  • Never bigfoot a teammate. "It takes a village."
  • Disrespect. Respect the game, officials, opponents, teammates,coaches.
The Ugly
  • Never be complacent. Compete TODAY. 
  • Arrogance. "Pride goes before the fall." Stay humble, stay hungry.
  • Softness. No athlete wants to be called soft. MVB is about toughness. It's hard to make the team, to earn a role, to excel. Sport rewards toughness, which has its origins in mental toughness.
