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.
