Thank you Victoria I am so scared because I tore my ACL and meniscus like 6 months ago and I am so close to being able to play again and this really helpful because i'm so excited to try out for varsity volleyball this year i am 14yrs old and I am going in the 9th grade this really got me more excited than confident about tryouts in a few weeks

I never had played volleyball in my life but a friend told me to try out with her and I did but before tryouts I started watching your videos because I was actually interested and I tried out in May and now I play middle back, and libero and I still can’t believe I made it because I’m 15 with no sports experience Just an update: Starting may Im going into my second year on varsity, last season we made it to sweet 16 in state, and just wanted you guys to know that anything is possible as long as you put you mind into it, tell yourself your good enough, know that you deserve a stop on the team, don’t ever doubt yourself! Also here are the injuries I’ve had in the past two season (like I said I had never played sports so my body wasn’t used to this): 2 sprained ankles, pulled the muscle in hip, tendinitis in my knee, and a tear in my Rotator cuff (shoulder)

my volleyball tryouts are in less than a week and i have no experience. i’m still determined to try my best though and i’m happy that i’m actually giving it a try. wish me luck! i’ll update y’all when i get the result day 1 of tryouts: omg i think i did really good. my serves made it over the net and the coach even complemented me! i made the cut and tmrw we’re doing some drills, i’m so scared. i’ll tell y’all what happens! day 2: i didn’t do as good as yesterday, i was partnered with a girl that didn’t know how to play. overall i think i was just average, didn’t rlly stand out. don’t feel that good but i have one more chance to prove myself tmrw! Results: i made it to the fourth day of tryouts and we were given the results. i made it on the team!!! i’m not sure if i’m on a or b team yet but i’ll let y’all know asap sorry for taking so long! its been a few weeks through the season and i’m on A team. good luck to all of y’all trying out too! bro i’m in 9th grade now and play for the highschool team!!!

Whenever it's gym class I would always get excited when we would play volleyball. Now, I will promise myself to atleast try when I get to highschool even if I get in or not.

wildlemonade first we got warmed up like laps and stretches then we practiced with a partner (like bumping, setting, and hitting) then we practiced as a group. We played queens, butterfly for the first two days. On the last day we played a game so the coaches can see what position you’ll most likely be playing.

[@lizakucheryava9304]

Okay so here’s my volleyball story. (Nobody’s probably gonna read this but I just REALLY need to rant). I started playing volleyball about a year and a 1/2 ago. At first I progressed insanely fast as I have been an athlete my entire childhood. I also left my 3 years of competitive tennis behind to pursue volleyball. After playing house league for half a year I tried out for a club team and my school team. I didn’t make the club team which wasn’t a shock. Yet, it was still a great blow to my confidence because I was made fun of at the tryouts and I felt like I stuck out for way less experienced then the other girls. Later on I tried out for my high-school team (I was a freshman). That year my school cut the JV team so I had to try out for varsity. I made it past 3 rounds of tryouts and was one of the top 4 freshman left. Sadly I didn’t make yet another team and it devastated me. To make matters worse the coach personally told me that I would have been guaranteed a spot if there was a JV team. Since then I have played volleyball on a select team for 5 months before the pandemic hit. During quarantine I put up a makeshift volleyball net in a park next to my house and practiced playing with my dad at least 3 times a week. Now I have club tryouts coming up in 2 weeks. Sadly, school tryouts are canceled this year due to the pandemic. I honestly feel like I haven’t improved all that much and still won’t be able to match the girls who have been playing rep for years. I am TERRIFIED. Making a club team is my dream. Wish me luck. 💕🥺😭 (Update): I made a club team! I’m so shocked. It only took tryouts for 3 different clubs. Third times the charm I guess 😂💕

[@theambitiousduck]

I typed a comment about this long on another video so I get it *reads*

[@theambitiousduck]

Good luckkkkkkk! I've also been practicing whenever I can(mostly with my dad) and it was kind of scary going to a summer conditioning thing at my highschool(I'm a freshman too) last year I was benched. I got put in some games but it was when we were behind and the other team had like... 24 points. The ball would get served to someone else so ;-; not the best season. I've just been working on passing recently and I guess it paid off. I've been told my passes and sets are pretty good. I wish you the best of luck at your club tryouts. I've never played club volleyball, only at the YMCA and 1 season at my school last year. I don't really have any good advice but this is what I can offer... Focus, stay calm but get excited, don't let anyone else get you down, go pretty much ou. I mean like... Diving for balls and stuff. When you're running, I try to use my ankles. This probably isn't the best idea but it gets me farther and my legs arent as tired as they would be if I ran with my whole body. Uhhhhh... I'll stop typing now 👉👈

[@lizakucheryava9304]

MightyNighty7 omg your seriously way too kind. Aww thank you. Your comment made my day! I actually made a club team this year. It only took 3 club tryouts. I’m still shocked that one of the clubs actually offered me a spot. Thank you for all the great advice. Best of luck to you!! 💕

[@donutkiller8004]

I’m just binging volleyball videos for tips and advice even though we might not go back to school. The attitude enthusiastic part that’s my personality. I’ve never even played volleyball before this year and I made the team, probably because I was cracking jokes at the coach’s 24/7. As of this point I think I’m pretty close to my favorite coaches

[@maraa3907]

I loved volleyball for a while and I started practicing all summer, I tried out for my school team and made it as the setter. I was doing really good and the coach along with my teammates trusted me to the fullest, I was so happy and I remember those were my best times on a volleyball team were there. Then I got called into an office, they said I was suspended from the volleyball team because math was kicking my ass. I remember freezing there unsure of what to say, I was so devastated. I just left wanting to play again, wanting to just step on the court already. I studied myself crazy that night, I kept studying and studying. I started getting higher scores and in the end I clutched my math test. I still have problems keeping my grades up, I have a very hard time paying attention and I'm not sure why. As soon as they start talking I follow the teacher, then lose them half way.

Hiii! I love your videos so so much! I clicked as soon as I could because I really *really* need this in my life because my tryouts are in 2 weeks! 😐🤭😬

[@vidadaryabary8078]

thanks so much victoria for the amazing advice!! tryouts are at the end of the week for me and i feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders just from watching this video

[@karlikapche6910]

I came to this video last year for club tryouts and made it- so now (a year later) I’m trying for the same club and came to watch this video again! Thank you for such great tips!

[@aureliabyrne2212]

I used your advice from this video and ended up making the top open team at my high school (division 1) as a Libero. I am honestly so thankful for this video and I don't think I could have done it without your advice.

[@lungceu1098]

I have high school boys tryouts in 2 weeks! Thanks for all this Vic! I’m sure you made a lot of people happy and confident.

[@luizasolkowski3612]

HI Victoria!!! this video has been incredibly helpful. I'm 15 and i've never made a club volleyball team and i've been trying for a few years now. The way you explained everything has really improved my mindset and is encouraging me to continue. Thank you so much!!!

[@dotk3623]

Hi Victoria, I am writing to thank you, I just watch your TedxTalk and was moved by it. I agree, an athletes mental well-being are not taken as serious as there physical well-being. For you to put yourself out there and tell your story is so brave and inspirational. I have a family member who had suffered with depression, fortunately we live in New Zealand where our Health system provides support and through therapy she is doing fantastic. More people should stand up and speak out so it is not criticised but one day be treated as a health issue that it is. Again, thank you and keep the posts going.

Thank you so much for this video! I’m a softmore getting ready to tryout for my school varsity team, and I think I’m going to make JV because there’s a lot of really good juniors and seniors above me. The Michael Jordan story really inspired me, and helped me be less nervous for tryouts coming up! Such an inspiration!

[@jazleensalinas3087]

HI!! 😇 I have watched you for sooo long and this video has helped me so much along with the others. I’ve had tryouts this week and tmrw is my last day 😩 I feel i’ve done everything i can to the best of my ability. My ‘thing’ is my mental mindset going into every tryout. It’s something i have to work on but this video ALONG WITH YOUR PODCAST are helping! so thank you so much for spreading so much knowledge and kindness ❤️

[@nope33]

Thankyou so much! I'm a freshmen and just started playing this year and I have tryouts on the 14th. Luckily my coaches were impressed by my efforts and improvements during the summer program. This is helping me prepare.

[@siennaa.5123]

[@ashleymartinez9258]

Sophia Tran good luck😉

[@juh-ney8418]

I started playing volleyball last school year. I kind of messed up a lot in the actual legit game, well i was REALLY nervous. After the game, I lost trust in myself and I thought abt giving up, but after i started watching your videos i got motivated to play again! Now I’m determined to get better and get into my hs volleyball team!! I might not be the best out there but I just realized that to be a great volleyball player or athlete in general, you don’t have to be the best.

[@theambitiousduck]

[@TheUnknown-yy5xj]

Tbh I would love to have her as a coach... She is really good at teaching stuff

[@broccoli2769]

she makes this whole thing so much better. I was so freaking nervous for my tryouts (which are in a couple days) but now I feel more confident. she understands what she is saying and she has been there. huge thank you for helping us ALL out because lets face it, we would have been lost without you lol.

[@ejpdrawer9765]

Amazing video. It really helps to get some kind of information to what the coaches are looking for in a player. Keep up the amazing videos :)
