Try-outs...nervous much
Hey! Well next week I'm trying out for my school's volleyball team (JV or Varsity). I don't have much experience but I'm pretty good for someone just starting. I've never tried out for a sport before and I'm really getting nervous and having second thoughts...even though I REALLY want to beon the team. The intimidation for the more-experienced girls just gets to me. Well, I was wondering if anybody have any advice and tips for me to stay calm, keep my cool, and how to impress the coach so that I can make the team and prove that I'm good and dedicated to the sport. Also, workout and practice tips would be great. Thanks <33.

If you try really hard, and coaches notice this, it'll help you out a lot. Be really loud and cheer on your other people on your team. Always call the ball. I didn't do this, because I'm really quiet/shy, and my coach hated me.
Just try not to be intimidated. Ignore them, but not completely. Practice a lot outside of pratice. Bump the ball to yourself, get a friend to help. Above my garage is my parent's room, but its a little further behind, so there's a little piece of roof that I'd practice off of. I served the ball and then ran up and bumped it back up. I think that help a lot. Try staying before/after practice to show the coaches you really want this.
Have you started yet? If you haven't, conditioning includes a lot of running, so pratice that. Try a little over a mile, maybe two. If you can, get a friend to help you by throwing the ball short, so you'll have to run up and dive for it. Practice hitting also. Set the ball to yourself. Do wall sits, push ups, sit ups, that sort of thing.
Try your best. That'll count for a lot. I've answered a bunch of these types of questions, so you can look at my column for these questions incase I forgot something. I hope I helped. Good luck! :)
