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!!!

I've always been scared of trying out for sports eversince 6th grade. Now that I'm graduating 8th, once I step into highschool, I will get out there and finally try. 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.

[@nevaeh9143]

What did you guys do

[@jadynahalya]

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.

[@makenzielabadie3441]

Jay Nicole how do you play queens

[@tbhidkfr]

Jay Nicole how much did u have to run? i’m pretty good at volleyball but i’m not the biggest runner

[@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!! 💕

[@caseytemoananui7964]

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.

[@gliiterr]

Idk why I'm watching this at 2am because my volleyball career ended after HS, but I think this is all great advice!! Coming from someone with pretty bad performance anxiety, trying out for club could be very daunting, especially when you don't know anyone. DONT WORRY.. when you are there, it becomes very fast paced and instinctual and you can lean back on the training you've had. All you are worried about in the moment is the drill and for me when the adrenaline was that high, I actually ended up playing better. I have some of my best memories from club teams, it is truly a great experience. Don't let fear take that away from you.

[@cupidlove5337]

I have tryouts next week and I really don't think I'm going to make a team. I went to all the open gyms and volleyball camps one in the winter and I'm currently taking one right now.

One of your tiktoks came up recently on my for you page and it really made me determined to not give up on volleyball. When I was in 7th grade I had a really bad knee injury from playing libero and they told me that I wouldn’t be able to play again. Once I was properly healed I went to 8th grade tryouts and my body was physically ready for the challenge while my mind wasn’t. I didn’t perform well at all and ended up not making the team. This year I am a freshman and I skipped tryouts because I wasn’t ready to fail again, so rather than trying, I just gave up. I’ll definitely be trying out in the fall whether I play club or for the high school.

[@ccstars7423]

How did this come at the perfect time ahhhh I love you Victoria!

[@anitali9342]

Thank you so much for all your advice! Honestly, sometimes volleyball can really drain me mentally and tbh the best remedy I've found for when I'm feeling disappointed in myself is listening to your videos and they make me inspired and hopeful and optimistic again. Keep up the good work!

[@sophiale9544]

perfect timing for this video! i have volleyball tryouts on saturday and tbh im pretty scared 😖

[@ashleymartinez9258]

Sophia Tran good luck😉

[@kristinalam6614]

I’m so lucky because me and my best friend tried out (and we’ve never played) and we both got accepted.

[@tompaulcampbell]

Seriously, this video isn't just about volleyball, it's about life! Great job, Victoria!

[@kat-ji7gg]

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! 😐🤭😬

[@whydontwestan3470]

i'm a freshman girl. I played 8 years of soccer, 2 years of football as the place-kicker, 8 years of competitive swimming, 5 years of lacrosse, 4 years of basketball, and 2 years of cross country/track. but wanted to try sum new. so i tried volleyball and loved it! i have 3 years of A team volleyball experience. my tryouts were the last two days. i luckily made it to the third tryout day out of 200 girls in my grade trying out! i got put with the freshmen JV (the least experienced team) for the last few tryout days and was bummed. but *ATTITUDE*. ladies, it's *REAL*. i switched my attitude from being down and sorry for myself to happy and energetic. i helped a lot of less experienced girls and gave it my all. i was being loud and hitting the floor for every ball, i'm a setter/right side so i mostly always have the second ball. yesterday they bumped me up to play with the varsity/jv and sophomore girls! today is my last day to prove them what i can do! but ATTITUDE ATTITUDE ATTITUDE is probably the biggest thing to keep in mind throughout tryouts, it can change everything. thank you Victoria! good luck if you're reading this comment, hope it helps!

[@elladota7873]

Thanks Victoria! I watch your videos with my 14 year old daughter, Kendall. She has the opportunity to try out for nationals rather than regionals this year in her club. This video helped her get her mind right. Tryouts arent until late October so we'll let you know how it goes! Fingers crossed.

My daughter just tried out for her 14s team. She made a top team just like last year. Yay! Unfortunately, she was definitely a victim (for lack of a better word) of the club politics. Hopefully this year will be different, but you sure helped put some thing into perspective. Thank you for this amazing video. I will have my daughter watch it. Just great tips for volleyball and life!!!
