Hey! First off, i'm going to start by saying I came here on this site to give people advice. Some people actually don't know the real meaning of advice. They think its the answers they want to hear. But i'm not here for that. I'll give you advice, and it might be something you don't want to hear. But deal with it! You may take my advice or not, its completely up to you and you are not gaurnteed a correct solution.Ok so now that's clear, I'll talk to you more about myself. Hence the username... I play volleyball. It is my passion and basically my life since I've played for about 7 years. Most of my friends say i'm 50/50 tomboy and girly girl. I LOVE sports!! I play volleyball all year round, and then I go to the park during free times to play some soccer, football, hockey, basketball or baseball with my friends. But then again, I could be inside trying on my new Sephora makeup i'd just gotten, or reading the latest Seventeen magazine or even arranging my clothes for school tomorrow.
You can ask me just about anything and i'll be happy to answer it. You can count on a full and detailed answer.
Oh and another thing... I love getting feedback! Even if its a negative comment. It tells me what I need to work on or even what I did correct.

hey! i have a question about hitting. i always cup my hand when i hit, and even though my coach says that it is better to hit with an open hand, i hit harder and better with cuped hand. what are some things that i could do to help me with hitting? thanks a lot!
from: someone who actually lives in the city u do and is on a team lower than u hehe
hey! hehe i don't know who you are, but i'm guessing Stephi? sorry if you're not
well hitting with a cupped hand actually risks a lot more damage than hitting regular. If you cup your hand when you hit, there might be a possible injury that you could hit the ball on your fingers and maybe break a finger.
so hitting with a cupped hand is definitely not good. some ways to get rid of this habit is try taking a volleyball into an open area (the gym, or your garage) and take the ball and just practice hitting the ball with a flat palm surface. It might be hard, but don't think about anything else. Just keep saying in your head "hit with a flat palm"
remember "practice makes perfect" take the volleyball and hit it into the ground, let it hit a wall and come back to you (without touching the ground)... then when it comes back to you, hit it into the ground again and just repeat.
Keep practicing and you'll get there. It just takes time. If you still can't get rid of hitting with a cupped hand, go to your coach... she/he will be able to help you.
I hope I helped!!
