Focus on winning the contest with yourself.
Think positive, real volleyball happens too fast to think any other way.
In volleyball there are many reasons for errors but not a single excuse.
Work hard - beat out half the team. Be committed, play fair as a team player - Beat out another quarter of the team. The last quarter is your desire and beliefs, and where you are playing.
The substitute that thinks his place below him, will certainly be below his place.
Volleyball rules are simple. If it is on the floor, pick it up and get it into the air. If it is in the air, keep it off the floor. ย
