"Positive scoring" relies on:
- Serving, under total control of the server.
- Attacking, with attacks from the middles, pins, back row, and setters
- Blocking, with block kills.
Under the best circumstances, blocking both neutralizes opponent attacks and scores points. MVB 25 graduates two of its top three 'scorers' in Carol Higonenq and Sofia Papatsoris. Step up and tell yourself, "that is my job. I am winning that role for next season." If unsure about how, consult your coaches.
Not enough seniority? Age and experience have never prevented young players from leaving their mark on winning. Freshmen have started and been in the rotation.
Lagniappe. Find ways to attack from different areas.
Develop the elite athleticism to be able to attack pipe. There are athletes in the system capable of becoming this.
