So Nervous.


Question Posted Monday July 31 2006, 2:38 pm

Hey. Well, volleyball tryouts are on the 15th-18th of August, and I am really nervous. There are girls that are going to be trying out who are really good and talented, but this is the first time of me really playing it. Do any of you guys have any tips on how to ease down and become less nervous, and on what to focus on if I want to make the team. Thanks.

What helps is listening to calming music. Just think of it as a really big practice. Try hard. And remember, the coaches are looking for talent, but also confidence, hustling, and spirit. Just focus on what you are doing. Coaches love it when you listen to them exactly what they say. Just remember, always have confidence, spirit and hustle.

Good Luck and I hope I helped!

well there'sa couple things. part of the nerrvousness is that you've never really played you should try going to the local recreation center and play at least once and also if the coach makes you do different passes by yourself be first because the first couple of people is always "graded" the easiest. also, i was reading a Teen People magazine and it was like the 10 best back to school things and its an oral spray that you spray in your mouth that helps calm you down. its really for the first day of school, but it will work for that too. its called Skyn Iceland Anti-Stress Oral Spray and it runs for about $25 and you can order it at www.beauty.com, hope i helped you. and good luck making the team

The best advice anyone could give you is to ALWAYS BE FIRST.

If your coach makes you run sprints, run them as hard and as fast as you can, aim for first place every time.

Work your heart out, honestly. Let it be visible that you really want to make the team, and chances are you will.

If you can't serve well, really focus on that. Most volleyball coaches don't want a player who can't serve accurately repetitively.

Make sure your passing skills are up to par.

If you're a shorter player and can't really jump well (like me =]), you might want to focus on defensive specialties like digging.

I wish you the best of luck! Let me know if you make it!

Aw, girl, don't worry! All you have to focus on is practicing! Just practice practice practice. Idk what grade you're in, but usually by 8th grade a lot of the girls that make the team can serve overhand. If you can't do that yet, don't worry, just practice. Don't worry, I'll bet you'll make it. :]
