Have you ever wanted something so bad that you over think and almost work too hard for it? I honestly know that that makes no sense at all but grrrr, I think that way right now with volleyball. I want so bad for our team to succeed that I feel like I am over thinking certain plays and movements.
As a captain to do not want to come across as questioning or stressing to the rest of my teammates but it is so hard. I want everyone to play their best volleyball this weekend so so so bad. But how do I get them to do that without freaking them out or freaking out myself.
I think my best bet is to just play within myself and to the best of my ability, and only expect the rest from my teammates. But that is SO hard at times! Either way... we can only worry about our side of the net and effect our play. Whatever the other team does is their business.
It's time to step up Bears and play to the level that is deep within us. The key is to play within ourselves.
Go Bears!

Thinking plus sports equals bad....or so I beleive.
If you just do what you know how to do - muscle memory sort of thing...you'll be great.
I totally understand that when you think too much you end up doubting yourself and can't perform.
Sometimes you just have to remember the fun...when you're having fun you play better. So my advice is to get goofy...let some stress out. I'm sure your team in stressed to and would love to let it out.
My favorite is a game of midget volley ball....play volleyball on your knees for 15 minutes and just laugh.
But then again, maybe midget volleyball is why your team always beat my team's ass in HS!! ;)
Good Luck and stop overthinking!
Thanks Madison!! Having fun is the best part and the reason I love this game. So pumped and ready to relax.
