The Team
The game of volleyball is certainly unique in many ways, especially in the importance of the team. Volleyball is one of the only sports that requires positive attitude and team togetherness to succeed. Volleyball is a momentum sport. If a player gets ten kills in the beginning of a game, it is very likely that the player may not miss a hit in the entire match. That is because the player has a high momentum and positive attitude toward their playing. If a player misses his or her first two hits, digs, or serves, they may be taken out of the game for the same reason. They have a low momentum, and they need a break in order to pull themselves out of their bad rut. Momentum not only applies to individual players but the entire team. A volleyball team must enter their gym with a positive attitude and confidence in their abilities. If they do not do this, then they do not stand a chance against their opponent. For example, a volleyball team may contain the best players in the state, but they cannot compete at all if their attitudes towards each other and themselves is negative. This has been evident thousands of times in volleyball history. Teams must be able to attain a positive attitude and play in sync with one another in order to succeed.

I do not know much about volleyball but this blog has helped me understand a bit more. It looks like volleyball players are very close and I think that is good. It is good to have a positive attitude throughout the whole game. Even if you lose it is better to lose with a good attitude rather than a bad one.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! since I play volleyball I can relate to it very well and I agree with everything you have said. Volleyball players are definitely really close and it has helped me carry on my positive attitude throughout the rest of my life! Thank You!
ReplyDeleteI do not play volleyball that much but this was a very good article. I like that it takes the whole team and all of the players on the team to win. I had no idea about any of these facts in this article. It makes me want to play after reading this!
ReplyDeleteSeems like being on a volleyball team really helps in that you always know you have your friends and team mates behind you. I dance so I know that having friends that love doing the same thing and have things in common really helps through tough times. Sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI hardly play volleyball, but your blog as helped me understand the importance of the entire team. Also I learned the individual player positions and their jobs.
