    I am known to be very hard on myself in games. I always tell myself, “Why can’t I just be good at something.” One way that helps me climb out of the deep hole I dug is by getting excited over a small, good thing I did (ex: a good pass). Because sometimes when I get down on myself I tend to not feel happy when I succeed, I think about one mistake I made.

    My favortie tip was the one where I dont focus on just how well I can do something but we focus on what we can do to make our teammates better, I like it because its taking more pressure off myself and other people are benefiting too. This was SOOOO helpfull, and im gonna try all of these. Thanks vic!!!!

    This video really helped me. I'm currently in 9th grade, almost the end of the year, but in the beginning of the year was volleyball season. I didn't really know much about volleyball but i've always admired the sport. Long story short, I didn't make the team. But i'm a very determined person, so for the past school year, i've been practicing a lot. I joined a volleyball club outside of school and i consider myself a decent volleyball player. Since the school year's almost coming to an end, and then there'd be two months till tryouts again, I started getting nervous. Like for this entire year I kept practicing and practicing but what if i lose to the nerves. Like if i walk into the tryout and i'm like "if i don't get in, then this whole year has been for nothing". Then I started watching motivational videos on youtube, and your videos especially really helped me to calm my nerves. I started listening to your podcast too, which I know isn't entirely about volleyball but it really helps me. You're an awesome person, keep up the good work. :)

      I'm nor Victoria, but I struggled with this so much, I would want to cry whenever I would make a mistake. Now I try to remember any mistakes that my teammates made and I couldn't remember any, also it's just one point so I shrug it off. My teammates sometimes get annoyed at me and I do with them, but at the end of the day one mistake isn't going to change the trajectory of my entire career. Wow that was long

      Yeah, I would definitely play. Now I know club is very expensive but if you really love the sport, I think you should play! The more practice and reps in the better you will get! So, I would say yes. But that is really your decision! So if you do decide to play, good luck!

      I'm currently playing with my team in Denmark. We sanitize our hands before entering the hall and also after any drink break we have during training. We also sanitize all balls and poles/net before and after each training so it's clean. We have been playing since August and none of us has gotten sick. I know it might be different because Denmark does not have as many cases as many other countries but I think you can be safe while playing.
      When we play matches we also don't shake hands we just wave across the court to the other team. For the warm-up, each team use separate balls, and also the ball is sanitized between each set in the match.
      It should be safe if everyone takes care of themself (not come if they are a little sick) and keeps a distance to others (Team members and the other team) :-)

    I've been playing volleyball for only a little over a year, and I worked hard enough at it to feel confident doing club. The thing is that I'm a senior, which I realize now is quite a tough year for a first in club. With all that being said, this vid was great and I knew I could count on Victoria for something like this to help me out :)

    Perfect video just before I have a clinic. Sadly due to Corona effects on buisness my club is closing down however those who would've made teams or on on teams will still be coached while they have the building then when the building is gone they are gonna rent out a place for a few hours to practice and I'm so happy that we dont lose everything it would've been my first season there and I've been improving alot so ots bittersweet this week which is when it closes on sunday. Thanks for posting this video cause I've always struggled with confidence and had bad anxiety so thank you so much for being the volleyball role model I look up to.

    My daughter NEEDS this right now. My daughter is on a 14s travel team, but they are in the "team selection" process. Unfortunately, our club has a lot of politics (I know all clubs suffer from this) and my daughter seems to get overlooked. This will help her to do her best during the selection process and realize that no matter what happens, not everything is in her control. Just be one with that court and continue to love the game. No matter where she ends up. Thank You, Victoria!! We love your videos!!

    Tips #6 and #7 really helped me a lot actually. Tip 6 reminded me that when i'm not thinking about my performance or what people are going to say about me when I make mistake I am a lot less nervous or I have lot less anxiety. It's also a great way to pump up your teammates on the court! I know I always love when people tell me "wow that was a great dig," or "Thanks for saving me from that block!" And tip 7 reminded me to be thankful for what I have. I'm grateful that I can get the new shoes I want, or I can get the new Molten that I really like. Sometimes we forget that what we have, others might not. So thanks for these tips because I definitely get stressed or anxious when I am on the court, it doesn't matter if it's a game, tryouts, or practice!

    I just had a volleyball game and we lost pretty bad but that’s only because we all get our spirts down as soon as we lose a point. Our coach was even telling us to keep our head up, and to just forget about that point. One of our main problems is getting all down in the dumps after one lost point so I’m going to send this video to my whole team, to see that hopefully this video helps!

    Hey, I am going to tell my experience with a game. One day I was in a game not a good team like it was mid. So I started as a setter and I was not at my best but it was ok.
    2 set comes they put another setter and I started playing as a outside hitter and I didint hit not a single ball we lost btw. Next game we played against that team and we won 25/15
    What I am trying to say is that don’t let a bad day let you down you can do it if you control your mind . You can do it❤

    Hey I know that I sent this really long after you posted this video but can you make one about how to deal with difficult teammates?

      try to 1st ask them if something is going on in their personal life, then tell them you are there for them. make sure you are giving them positive encouragement and feedback & not saying anything to make them react negatively. at the end of the day, you can only influence your teammates behavior & actions, not control them, so if you are being a good teammate and they are still being difficult, just shake it off and make the best of a bad situation. unless it gets especially difficult and is detrimental to the success of the team, then maybe consult your coach. xx
