Now I turned to beach volley and last two years I made it to 9th overall place in national championship behind giys like Nicolai/Lupo and Carambula/Rossi. Would love to play a match with you guys if you come to Italy (I still live in Umbria) or in America when the pandemic is over. Much love from Italy. Francesco

    What you said in the last part about experience, just made me realized that it is because one doesn't have the experience and that is why they are more susceptible to trying new stuff. Imagine having all the experience, and you only do things focused on the experience you gain, you'll keep telling yourself that things have to go a certain way and when someone questions you for your decisions you answer them "Oh I'm doing it like this because of my experience" >

    one of the things I enjoy about volleyball is how the points get reset to 0-0 at the end of a set. Sure the other team may have a whole set ahead of you, but there’s no way you’re going to let them have it easy to get that set and the next set off you. personally, I also find it easier to chase than to maintain a lead haha

    The paradox isn't real because what they say isn't what they mean. The no experience line is usually boss/coach lingo for "I don't think you're good enough". If you're lucky, you get a chance to prove them wrong.

Experience is easily one of the best tools an athlete can have but it definitely shouldn’t be the end I’ll be all. Sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith.

    My friend once had this experience in school. We have school football against other schools and my one friend wanted to join but my teacher told him "you aren't really good and experienced enough". I felt pretty bad for him (side note i didn't participate because i just didn't want to) and he wasn't even considered a main sub. My friend has a really powerful shot and anyone not used to playing football gets intimidated by its speed and he usually scores 5-7 goals in breaktimes. I've never had this experience myself but i felt pretty bad but i can guess why my teacher said so and when someone who doesn't even play football but is athelticly talented gets a spot on the team (he has insane defense which is why he got on) it must hurt. I can understand why my teacher said so though
    1. My friend is kind of a hothead who lets things get to him easily (he litterally said if he got knocked over by a person, next chance he got he would floor him) which is a dumb mindset.
    2. He is too arrogant. Many of the players on the team are arrogant but my friend has the "carry" mindset and goes for solo plays more than optimal passing
    3. His lack of overall skill. The only thing about my friend is that he has a powerful shot and can dribble a little but he isn't good at passing which often leads to steals and that powerful shot is most of the time a 40% hit rate. He hits very hard but he can't really control it.
    Still in a team game its fine to put him in since there are others on the court. When he fails they back him up. Thats the one thing my teacher didn't take into consideration and honestly i think he should have let my friend play rather than go for the "he has talent to do so but just needs more training" rather than go for someone who wants to win more than others do
