Volleyball

apart of volleyball, track, and softball my whole high school career. In volleyball I have always been a leader out on the court or off the court as a mellow leader. Every year in volleyball the seniors are the ones that are forced to bond with the whole team, but this year we had a new coach who changed the rules from what we were used to. The other senior and I took it into our own hands to make this season fun, since no one was sure how it would turn out. So I invited the whole 9-12…

I’ve played volleyball since I was 10 years old. I loved playing that sport so much that volleyball eventually became my identity to my peers since I was very well known for being on a club team and Varsity team at St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School. Personally, it was a bittersweet feeling when I realized that my senior year would be the last time I was on a high school sports team. However, after volleyball ended, my instincts suddenly told me to join the swim team, which I did and it was the…

I chose a standing overhand float serve in volleyball mainly because volleyball is my favorite sport and the serve is what starts the whole game. I chose myself as the amateur for the purpose of improving my technique and to be able to teach others. I play on the women’s club team here at Edinboro so we get a select few of girls who don’t really have much experience, but hoping to learn. I would like to be able to help teach them the correct technique to get the ball over the net so they can…

and the family isn’t that my much different with the separation. One thing about my life that you should know is that I am an athlete. I play volleyball and I use to play basketball. I stopped playing basketball after I tore my ACL at the beginning of my season in 8th grade, and I just never seemed to pick up where I left off. I made the freshman volleyball last year and had an amazing season. However, tryouts were tough and cuts were harsh this year. A couple of my friends and I were…

When I think of sports, school and society I think of my childhood and how much sports played a part in success, failure and learning about the importance of teammates discipline and patience. Sports are a distraction from everyday issues and were an important part of my life that I will never forget. Sports in society were focused on men only and now women are starting to play a prominent role. Not only are sports important in everyday life, but also sports are a method to sustain society…

reliable person. Therefore, those three types of achievements contributed to my self-respect. I am a persistent person. I had a dream of being a volleyball player, but my parents did not have money to pay for it. There is a club in my town that is called Paysandu. This club is famous in my State to make young people excellent players in soccer, volleyball, and in swimming. However, everyone had to take a…

meaningful link between to-be- remembered items, such as creating a story that includes all the items. Ashley Barry remembers the numbers for her locker combination by giving the numbers meaning from professional volleyball players number. Because she has already memorized the professional volleyball players number she is able to remember her combo by thinking of the player’s number. This technique can be use in counseling especially when clients remember things that happen to them by giving the…

If Steve Harvey had asked me to tell him my story, I would tell him about my determination and leadership. I came from a small private school and throughout my years of sports, I fell in love with volleyball. If I had walked into tryouts without putting in any of the work I had put in, I wouldn't have made it. I worked five days a week for at least three hours whether it be private lessons at nine at night or open gyms early in the morning. While doing this I managed volunteering at a summer…

biggest revelations of my character. When I entered high school, I had to play a sport because it was my mom’s rule, “you will participate in minimally one sport”. As a result, my brother played football, ran track, and swam. My eldest sister played volleyball and swam and my other sister was a swimmer. Therefore, my choice was easy, swim. I initially joined the swim team in order to maintain the Mitchell legacy of Shadow Ridge High School swimmers. While my siblings' participation was a big…

used in all sports including volleyball. I will be analysing myself and how I compare to a professional volleyball player by looking at an overhead serve. Momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. The amount of momentum used in an overhead serve will determine the force the ball will travel over the…
