    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 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)

    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 😂💕

      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 👉👈

    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

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Quick tip for tryouts: if the coach doesn't come up to you and gives you advice you can always ask your pepper partner (if you play pepper) you can your partner things like "any tips?" or "was that a good pass/set, anything I can do to make it easier for you?" the coach can notice this think how you are thoughtful and considerate of your teammates : )
