Day One Session two Reflection

At the Making the Cut Camp at the end of August 2019 we asked the players to reflect upon some statements.

Below is the statement from the second session of the camp.

Regardless of my playing time, I support the team.  If my playing time is decreased, I will work hard in practice to help the team get better.

Players were asked to give the statement a number.  If you totally agree with the statement give it a 10, if you totally disagree give it a 1.  In simple language give the statement a number.

Overall average 9.4/10 There were 75 responses.

10/10
You should always support your team no matter what.  Know matter how much playing time you get you should always support.

Because you are a team and you have to support and pump each other up.  Work hard and play hard.
8/10
If my playing time was decreased I would want to work hard and prove to my coach they should put me on.
10/10
I believe you should always work hard in practice to improve your person’s skills and in return benefit the team.
10/10
Being on a team is not about you it is about being a family.  You need to work hard for something playing time is one of them.
10/10
If I am not good enough to be starting line than I will support my teammates from the sideline than it gives me something to work for.
10/10
Because to be a team player you need to work with your team because not only will it help you but everyone else too.
10/10
What’s best for the team is what I always consider.  It’s selfish to put yourself above work.
10/10
Even if your playing time gets decreased, if you continue to work hard, your playing time could get increased.
10/10
Because if I get better my playing time will go up and my team and I will become better.
9/10
I agree because if you work harder at practice so I can get better so I can get more court time.
10/10
I believe that you should always be supporting your team and that should affect your playing time by how you choose to support your teammates in practice and games.
10/10
If you work hard in practice and show that you are dedicated and supportive no matter what then your coach may give you more playing time.
10/10
I’d rather not disappoint my team by being played on a bad day so I will improve in practice and earn my playing time.
10/10
If my play is bad then it is my fault, I should be working harder to earn my playing time.
10/10
It is important to support your team no matter what or else it will affect you more.
10/10
Yes because if you are playing bad you have to practice to get better and help your team.
10/10
If you don’t work hard you won’t get better and you don’t deserve to play if you don’t put the effort in
10/10
You should always help and support your team in whatever way you are needed.  If your playing time is decreased work hard is to improve your skills.
10/10
Volleyball is a team sport so if anything I have to be there for my team.
10/10
If you don’t work hard even if playing time is short. It doesn’t help to be lazy.  You need to work harder to become better and earn playing time.
10/10
I think having a supportive positive team is very important.  Most of the game is mental so making sure to have a positive mental attitude can help the team’s performance.
10/10
I believe you have to work for what you get, it shouldn’t just be handed to you.  Supporting your fellow players is so important.
8/10
You should always support your team no matter what.  However, you should always work hard in practice to get better even if you are the best player there is always room for improvement.
10/10
If you have a bad attitude the coach will not play you because if a player is too upset to focus, it would be like having 5 people on the court
10/10
When you push yourself in practice it benefits the team and your skills.
10/10
If I don’t support the team when I play it looks like I don’t have team spirit and only are about my own playing time.  If my playing time decreases working harder will improve my skills and might be able to play more.
10/10
Because you have to work hard as a team and all put in the effort if you want to succeed.  Even If you don’t play as much, you should still cheer for your teammates.
10/10
If only 6 people are playing then you should cheer them on and help them play their best.
10/10
Because it is a privilege to be on a team.  Even if my playing time is decreased.  I should be trying harder in practice so that I can get better and be ready to play my best when I’m playing.
8/10
I think it is very important to support your team.  It is good to help your team get better but you also want to get better so you have to put in the work.
8/10
Yes I will support my team, of course.  Probably if I’m sitting most of the time I will be less a part of the team and I would make it harder for me to have a good attitude and support them.
8/10
The players are on the court together which builds the energy and environment
10/10
Because everyone deserves support and that is everyone’s responsibility on a team.  I want the team to get better and so that  is me and everyone has to strive to be better.
10/10
Because you can’t just pout about it you have to do better and put in the effort.
10/10
The hype is an important factor in volleyball.  No hype form the bench could make the court side. In practice, your presence is of equal value to everyone else’s
10/10
Volleyball is not lost by one person’s mistake and it is not won by their amazing attacks it is a team sport.
10/10
Because you are a part of a team and you all  need to improve as a team.
10/10
Cause if I do bad in one of my practices then it reflects on the whole team then we do bad.
10/10
Because you should always be supportive of your team.  And not get down cause then the whole team will.
10/10
If you aren’t playing well, you are making the team suffer, so don’t give up on yourself and try hard in practice.
10/10
I think that no matter how much you play you should always support your team.
10/10
Just because you aren’t playing doesn’t mean you are not part of the team.
10/10
Because it helps the team get better together also it will get better/high placing
10/10
I agree if you work hard to get better it will help the team grow.  Always be positive and support the team because it will help you and your team get better.
10/10
I’m here to play volleyball and improve myself and I can't do that if I’m not supporting the team or trying hard in practice.  Playing time is nice but if you are not working hard you should not play.
10/10
You have less playing time for a reason.if you work hard in practices you can earn back your playing time.
10/10
I support the team because the support will cheer them up and they will do better I will work hard in practice to help the team and myself to get better so we will win more games and work better together as a team.
8/10
The harder you try the better the results will be.
10/10
I would because if I don’t get played then why should I be on the team.  And if we all work hard in practice we would push ourselves to get better.
10/10
It is all about teamwork you should be playing the players who are working the hardest that game and next game someone else will be working harder and get more playing time.
9/10
IF you are not playing great and not helping the team you have to earn the playing time but you should still get playing time.
10/10
I think supporting the team is very important regardless of how often I play the only way to get better is to practice and work hard.
10/10
If you don’t help the team you should not be on the team period.
10/10
Even if your playtime is decreased you are a part of it.  If is your responsibility to help your team in the best way you can even if you can’t help them on the court you can help them from the bench.  Working hard in practice will help you get better.
10/10
I will always support your team if I am on the bench or on the court and every practice I would work harder and harder to increase my skills to help my team when I do play.
10/10
Because it is a team sport and you get better by practicing and you get on when some go off it is only fair.
10/10
If I know that we won’t have as good of a chance to win than I will still work hard and support the team with the goal to become a starter.
10/10
I support my team, if my time is decreased I will work hard to get better with the team.
9/10
I don’t think I could work harder, I think I should put in more time and improve that way
10/10
It doesn’t matter how much playing time it matters how hard you work and how much you support your team.
10/10
That is the whole point of organized sports.  If you aren’t trying to represent your team well then you shouldn’t be on a team.
10/10
If you give to the team you should support it no matter what.
10/10
I think a 10 because no matter what you are a part of the team and should support them.  I think that you should always work hard in practice so that you will improve.
10/10
You need to put 110% in every practice.
8/10
I feel that I should work hard no matter my playing time.
10/10
If you work hard and try in practice it will help you and your team.  If you work harder and strive to be better you could see the court. You also need to work harder because you might have a certain skill that your team might lack.
10/10
No matter what you always have to support your team and decrease of playing time should motivate you to improve.
10/10
I will not waste everyone’s time by not giving it my all.  There is nothing worse than someone being on your team and not even working to be there.
10/10
If you don’t work hard you do not deserve to play.  So in order to play, you must be working hard and constantly try to improve your skills.
9/10
I agree with this however a small part of me gets sad when I don’t get playing time.  I need to get over this and work even harder.  Those who work hard will be rewarded.
10/10
This is the attitude and mindset everyone should have.
10/10
If my time is decreased I will work hard and fix whatever my coach tells me to because I want to become better and get playing time.
10/10
If you work hard enough you will improve and probably increase your playing time and even if it doesn’t, you should still support your team.
10/10
There is a reason why the coaches picked who they want to play.  I have not choice in who they play I can only work hard to prove myself and get better, everyone on the team has an important job weather it is playing or cheering.
