Varsity Volleyball Final

Volleyball Varsity Girls

Objectives of this activity were to become together as a team (learning team work) and aim at winning the tournament. And also developing volleyball skills were important. For individual, I focused on serve receive and digging line and angle hits. I set my goals that when I dig the ball, I have to be aggressive and call it, then give the ball to just in front of our setter.

In the games, I played outside. I tried to be calm every time and do the services constantly. Volleyball is a team sport. We needed lots of support the team ourselves especially when we start losing points badly. Enthusiastic and encouragement helps to be more positive during the game. I was encouraging the team whenever we lost the points. And also, I came to the practices everyday except when I had a track meet in Seychelles. The number of times I had attended was pretty good I think. In practice, I always tried to improve myself more, such as spikes and service.

For this season, I think our team confidence was very high enough to beat other team and we worked hard a lot to get there.  Our teamwork was the best. When we have player who is off her form, substitute could play very well instead of her and also when someone made a mistake, teammate and captains cheer up the team and brings more power to us.

I was in varsity from last year, but I was still freshman, so I couldn’t play in the game that much. However, this year, I became a regular member who is always playing in the game. Even in ISSEA team, I was just playing libero position. This was the big change and I think I actually improving my skills every game.

When I missed service, I feel very sad and mad at myself. I’ve noticed I need more stronger mental to be ready for pressure especially in the game. I can do well in the practice, but when I am playing in the game, I am more nervous and it makes my body stiff like stone. This is my problem that I have to solve next year.

Team sport is more passion able, exciting and fun. I’ve been playing volleyball and track and field at the same time this season. I thought our volleyball team is more comfortable for me because of our object, victory, seemed hard, but everyone in our team was facing toward it. I liked how our team can together strongly.

I was afraid of expressing myself and call for ball by using big voice last year, but this year, I could call for ball and cheer for our team. It helps me to be more comfortable in English situation. I want to use these teamwork skills and positive thinking for studying and doing services next year.
