First, an AI take:
George Frazier used “duende” to mean an elusive personal quality—style, presence, taste, authenticity, a kind of cultivated magnetism that cannot be reduced to wealth, status, or conventional success. Borrowing the term from Spanish artistic tradition, he applied it to people who seemed to possess an unmistakable grace and individuality that made them more interesting than merely fashionable. For Frazier, duende was less about looking impressive than about having a distinctive way of being.
David Ortiz radiated duende. Pedro Martinez had duende. Roman Anthony, not yet.
Muhammad Ali had duende.
Dr. Victoria Crovo had duende...the image shows her on the block.
Duende fashions flair with functionality.
Marcin has duende.
What does this have to do with volleyball?
"Every day is showtime." Every day is "prove it" time. Show the coaches that you belong on the court. Make them want you on the court. Make them need you on the court.
Watch most JV games... as expected, you see less experience, less skill, less force, less consistency. Your job is to leave an impression while making a difference.
How?
1) Serve with intent.
2) Hit with intent.
3) Energize your teammates.
4) Impact the game.
5) Play with force. Bring electricity to the court.
Your challenge is to figure it out.
