Great players know this truth…
The ultimate competitive battle you have is always with yourself.
The great ones get better every day.
They WIN the day.pic.twitter.com/Ub24VETm4u
What are reasonable expectations? Ask yourself, "what drives me?"
There are academic answers like, "autonomy, mastery, and purpose" explored in Dan Pink's book Drive. I don't think that's worth your time.
Because you love volleyball, answer practically. "I want to learn. I want to improve. I want to be the best libero in the Middlesex League."
What would I say to Sabine? "You should want to have the best middle hitter season in the history of MVB. That means comparing yourself to Hannah Brickley, Sarah McGowan, Emma Randolph, and a few other All-State MVB middles." That translates first to winning and second to dominating games consistently.
Play for the girls next to you. Talk for them and to them. Bring energy and energize teammates. Make everyone around you better at home, in school, on the court. When you've left all you have out there every day, then you'll know you've done enough.
Lagniappe. Do the work.
“The kids in our room that haven’t played yet and sometimes they want to pout, they need to realize that you don’t know when your time is coming. Will you work while you wait?” Kirby Smart pic.twitter.com/zBkcY3FIvE
