My Love For Volleyball

Improved Essays
Even as a little fifth grader, new to volleyball, at the height of 4’10, I grew a love for setting and trained for it as often as I could. For my first two years of playing I never was on an actual team, but anytime I got to work in the gym I would automatically want to be setting. Once I entered seventh grade and middle school ball started I strived even harder to get the spot as setter, but for it being my first year I was okay with not being chosen as a setter. Once my eighth grade season started though, everything changed. I still was able to set for club, but my school coach had other opinions.

I can say, height does play a big role in different positions for volleyball, but at this age, girls don’t need to be as tall as the Eiffel Tower.

They all see that I am a 5’2 third baseman. Because of my height I am at a “disadvantage”, I have to work hard for what I have.…

    In high school, it can seem like the most important thing in life. I, fortunately, was involved in many other activities to fill up my time. I could not play volleyball my sophomore or junior year. This really upset me because I love the sport. While sitting on the side lines, I had a decision to make: sit here bitterly and wish I could be playing, feeling sorry for myself, or cheer my team on and try to be a positive impact on them.…
