Day Two Session Three 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.
It is not possible to be a successful volleyball player without touching a volleyball outside of practice by yourself.
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 8.08/10 There were 74 responses.
9/10
To me being a successful volleyball player means putting all you got in what you are doing so that means working on your skill outside of practice to better yourself mentally and physically.
8/10
You will get way better if you practice outside by yourself but you can also be a try-hard when you play with your team but you won’t be as stressful.
2/10
If you want to be a better volleyball player you have to put in the time and effort outside of practice as it is the only way you can become the higher level of a player by putting in the extra practice.
10/10
You never going to be the most successful in practice and games if you don’t practice outside of with your coach to make yourself better.
9/10
You need more practices than you think plus it makes you better so why not.
10/10
 You only get better the more you play so the more you do outside of practice the better you will become.  It will help you become better at the skills you are not so good at.
10/10
 Being a good volleyball player you must do things outside of practice.  It  will make you stronger.  Practices do help but doing extra things will make you even better volleyball player.
9/10
There is the occasional exception but yes, for the most part, the more you touch the ball the better.  Practices aren’t enough if you really want to improve you must practice by yourself.
N/A
Practicing out by yourself is good.  You can work on things independently.
10/10
In order to move forward, you need to take the initiative to practice and touch the volleyball outside of volleyball.  You can be decent but without extra practice you won’t reach the excellent level.
10/10
Practice makes perfect so the more you practice the better you’ll get those who don’t will get left behind by those who do.
10/10
Because you have to put in an effort to get better and practice makes perfect.
8/10
Because if you don’t practice outside of practices you will never become stronger at the skills you are learning.
10/10
You have to work as hard as you can inside and outside of practice.  If you don’t practice outside of club volleyball at school volleyball.  Oh sure you can be good but you are not gonna be great.
10/10
Practice only gets you so far.  The people that put in the extra wor will go farther.  If you need extra work on something like passing you can work on that at home to get even better,
8/10
The more practice you do the better you get which makes you more successful.
3/10
Although it is good to practice outside of practice it doesn’t mean you can’t be successful.  Successful might also be different for everyone.
3/10
It is possible to be a good player if you only play in practice but to excel in the sport and really progress as a player you have to practice on your own.
10/10
If you are a serious athlete you need to practice as much as you possibly can.
4/10
Some people are just more gifted than others at sports and can just be better than most others with less practicing.
10/10
I suppose it depends on your definition of success but by any definition success cannot be achieved by being lazy.
6/10
Natural talent and amount of practice time matter if you practice every day you don’t really need to do it outside of practices.
10/10
I think 10 because you have to work hard outside of practice and put in the extra commitment to improving.
5/10
Because you may be really gifted but it is really good to practice outside of practice just so you can improve on your own.
10/10
The more touches you have the better you will be.  Volleyball on and off the court.
8/10
If you don’t practice out of practice then you won’t improve but if you make every practice and go to join another team to have more practice you won’t improve
10/10
Because the more time you spend on the sport the better you get.
9/10
It is very important to work as hard as possible at practice and at home or at the gym to be the best possible player.
2/10
 Actually, some are the best, not all because some people learn from watching but yes you should use a volleyball because what is what you use in a game.
10/10
 If you don’t practice more than everyone you won’t reach a higher level.  The more touches you get the better you are.
10/10
Because if you want to do the best you need to train hard.
10/10
Practice practice practice
4/10
It is possible to be successful but touching a volleyball definitely helps. You won’t go to a super high level, but you can get better at practice only.
8/10
You can still be successful but you would be more successful if you practiced at home.
5/10
Some people are naturally gifted and don’t want to practice their skills outside of practices.
10/10
You will not get better if you don’t practice even if you are a good player you can still get better.
10/10
Everyone practices at practice but if you want to go to the next level you need to put in the extra work at home.
4/10
I believe it could be possible however it is much better to put in the work at home.
10/10
Because you can improve outside of practice.
10/10
Because you need much more than only 4 hours of playing time a week.
10/10
 It is very important to practice outside of practice so that you can improve the most.
9/10
The more you practice the better you will be and if you want to be a better player you need to work for it.
8/10
Coaching really helps if you lack self-awareness.
9/10
You need to be independent and practice by yourself if you want to succeed in volleyball.
7/10
You should always be practicing outside volleyball practice because it will make you better.
10/10
I think that if you want to be the best you can then need to practice.
10/10
You need to touch a ball to be successful.  To be successful you need to be at practice and touch the ball more than your whole team.
5/10
 It is possible just much harder than if you did.
10/10
If you don’t put in any work outside practice you might be an okay player but you’ll never be the best player you can be unless you put in work outside of practice.
10/10
 Because you have to do the work too.
10/10
 It is touches and repetitions that make a good player. More reps equal more improvement.
10/10
Because you need to practice on your own.
10/10
Because you will get better every time you touch a volleyball.
10/10
To become the best volleyball player you can be you must practice at home, not just a practice every extra touch matters.
6/10
You have to practice a lot but volleyball helps.
7.5/10
Because practice makes consistency
8/10
You can be a successful volleyball player by just having practices but you should at least touch a volleyball at some point outside of it.
4/10
For me, I go throughout most of the summer without touching the volleyball but because how active I stay it is easy to get back into it all depends how active you stay.
10/10
If you only touch a volleyball in practice than you will be an average player.  But to be successful you need to practice on your own time.
9/10
True because you can do lots of drills at home and better yourself.
9/10
If you touch a ball outside of practice it will make you a better volleyball player.  But if you go to practices and some camps you can be a successful volleyball player.
8/10
I haven’t ever been on a team with practice every day so I benefit from practicing on my own time but if you practice every day you work more.
9/10
Finding and working on improving your own weaknesses will help improve the team altogether.
9/10
The more ball contact outside of practice the better.  It is important to do extra practice.
10/10
You need to practice what your coach said, then the next practice you are better at the skills.
7/10
I think that even though you may not have a volleyball to touch a volleyball outside of practice you can be a good volleyball player.
6/10
You can be a successful player without practice on your own time but then it is just talent. It is easier if you practice on your own.
10/10
A coach and other teammates are necessary to be a good player.
5/10
Because you can still work on conditioning or movement without a volleyball but it is easier to just pick up a ball and start playing.
10/10
If you are very passionate you will likely practice outside of practices.  All great players do it.
10/10
There is no way that you can get better without practicing at something you have to practice a lot to get better at something.
