How Do I Become The Libero?
I am honestly curious to this question. I tried all high school and club season to be my team's Libero or even split time as Libero with someone else, but I just don't seem to be good enough!
I ask my coach what I need to work on all the time. I focus on it, and I get it under control.
I could play anywhere on the court my coach needed me to go even though I play best from left back, where our libero plays.
My serve receive needs some work, but I work really hard at it, and I end up having to go for balls that aren't supposed to be mine because people leave early.
But on a typical day, I feel I am just as good as our Libero now, and I want to know how to become better.
I do have a tad bit of a disability because I can't see left completely. My peripheral vision is lessened on my left, but this has not stopped her from playing me in right back, where the rest of the court is on my left side.
If she gets to play because of her experience of being libero like she did in high school, then I don't know how the coaches expect me to be able to gain experience for the libero position.
I am also playing up an age group if that makes any difference.
Thank you for all your advice!
1 AnswerVolleyball7 years agoDo I Have a Mental Disorder?
Hi. I was just wondering if I'm going crazy. (Mental disorders do not constitute as being crazy. I know.)
But so not only is my mind split into two separate parts, one that is me and one that constantly insults me, but I worry over everything. I can see almost every negative outcome for something. And if you give me any topic I can usually find at least two things I can worry about without even thinking too hard.
My chest is usually really tight, and I'm always on edge.
I was just wondering. Thanks.

2 AnswersFashion & Accessories8 years agoHow To Become a Better Libero?
I'm a DS on my high school team, but I really want to play Libero.
I asked my coach what I could do, and she said I was doing great, but she felt that our current Libero had a bit more experience as Libero.
Well, she does. I was Libero when I was 12 for club, and then I was an outside/DS for club when I was 13.
Our Libero was Libero for her 14's club team, and I think her 13's club team as well.
I just really want to play Libero soon because the season is almost over. Plus, I'm trying to play up in club this year, so I'm with my grade. I want to know how I can become *REALLY* good at being Libero, so I can at least play it during club season. If I make a 15's team.

1 AnswerFriends8 years agoI Hurt Myself Emotionally, and I Don't Know Why. What Is Wrong With Me?
I'm "torturing" myself. I used to reread my text messages. The fights. Not the happy part but the bad parts. Where I was called a *****. Where I was unfriended. Where people were mean to me. I noticed a major problem, and I delete my conversations now when I get sad or hurt or angry (which usually leads to sadness and hurt).
I stopped rereading messages that way. I stopped "torturing" myself.
But I still do things. Like I want something BADLY, but maybe the other person has another option. I don't try to persuade them to do what I want. I'll just give them what they want.
Not like a pushover. Well, okay, my friend has called me a doormat before, but that's not the point. I mean, it's like I'm dating a guy, and a girl likes him, and he slightly has an attraction toward her. He's a good boyfriend, and he's talking to me about it. I would tell him to date her. I could be madly in love with him, and every word I'm saying is breaking my heart and maybe even making me cry, but I won't tell him how much it hurts nor how much I want him to ignore my words. In fact, I'll argue FOR the other girl.
But what really scares me...is...I kind of like it. It makes me sad and in pain, but it pleases some part of me...

2 AnswersMental Health8 years agoMOSTLY GUYS PLEASE!!! How Do Guys I've NEVER Talked to Before Know My Name?
I'm not the kind of girl who gets talked about, I don't think.
I don't have a boyfriend.
I don't do anything spectacular.
I eat, breathe, and go to school pretty much.
So, how do these guys that I've seen around school maybe had in Spanish or LA actually know who I am? Because I've been in people's classes for three years, and they don't know who I am (and I'm sure it's vice versa). So, how come these guys know who I am?
There has to a be a reason. No one remembers someone for no reason.
2 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships9 years agoVolleyball Help PLEASE! I Don't Know What I Didn't Do!?
Yesterday, I had the second half of my first set of tryouts. I didn't make it.
I'm 5'3" with the shoes on. No idea what my vertical is. I was trying out for Libero.
I was passing pretty consistently. I was serving pretty consistently. I was loud. I was running to every ball that I at least thought I could get without seriously injuring another girl or myself. I was forced to play Setter MULTIPLE times. I was forced to play Middle MULTIPLE times. I was non-stop on the court pretty much. PLUS, I dove for balls when I wouldn't break my neck on the balls people left laying on the court. I was doing everything I thought I coulod be doing, and I STILL didn't make a team.
I played just as well as some of the best girls trying out. I don't know what I didn't do though...
Please help me. I have tryouts again tomorrow and maybe Saturday, and if I don't make this team, I'm pretty sure I'm not playing volleyball for an entire season.
Thanks! :)
1 AnswerVolleyball9 years agoVolleyball Tryouts In Two Days! Advice?
This is my first time actually trying out. I played club last year, but no one ever got cut from tryouts, so now I'm SUPER nervous.
I'm trying out for two different clubs, but they're sister clubs. I'm trying out for Libero (and Outside as secondary position).
I have tryouts Monday, maybe Tuesday, Thursday, and maybe Saturday. Monday and Thursayd are first day of tryouts for each club, and Tuesday and Saturday are the callback days.
Naturally, that's the week I get pounded with tests and homework.
So, does anyone have any advice?
How to balance homework and about four hours of volleyball from 5:15 (arrival and sign in) - 9 (list of callbacks/who made the team) with three hours of homework when I get out of school at 4:15 without dying the next day at possible callbacks or falling asleep during school?
How to act at try-outs?
What's the line between good loud and annoying?
Any stories or something that might calm me down.
Right now I'm freaking because I am totally SCREWED next week. Sorry that this is mostly just me telling about stuff you probably don't care about... :)
THANKS!
2 AnswersVolleyball9 years agoMy Friend Says I'm 'Modest'. WHAT DOES SHE MEAN?
Okay, now before I even start, this is NOT an arrogant question. I honestly don't get it.
We were talking about why this guy liked me. I didn't get it. I even texted her:
"Why WOULD he?
Pretty? Lotsa girls prettier than me :) being honest not self pitying.
Smart? Who you comparing me to?
Unique? So is everyone else.
Soooo why me?"
We bantered back and forth, her trying to convince me I'm super special. Then she finally said, "Ha, thanks but um no.
I'm not pretty, I'm averagely smart, I'm not unique at all.
He's a guy
He sees the you I SEE
The awesome one
You're just too modest to see it!"
And then when I asked what she meant...
"You are too kind to others but you dont see yourself as who you are. You ARE really smart and pretty and nice and he sees that as do I, but you will never truly believe it."
I don't know what she means at all. My other friend even agreed with her, and they both did crappy jobs of explaining.
Thank you!
3 AnswersFriends9 years agoWhat Could Be So Bad That He Won't Go on ONE Date?
Okay, well, I dated this guy for a month and a half before things got a little awkward, and we broke up. Summer came and went, and now we're both at school. Well, I still liked him even after we broke up.
I see him at school. Treat him like a friend. Tell him about this other guy I was crushing on. He acts like a bud and helps me only to find that the guy didn't like me.
He's nice about it and everything, and then he admits he likes someone. A week of hints and I knew it was me, but I waited until I was ABSOLUTELY sure. Then I told him I knew who he liked, but I wouldn't guess. Then after two hours he texts me, "FINE I LIKE YOU." I replied, "I knew it! :)"
I thought about it for a day before asking this because, like I said, we broke up due to awkwardness. I asked him if he'd make a deal. I'd try another date with him to see if it wasn't awkward if it was a double date.
He said kind of. And after much digging he told me his friends would "never let him live it down". It being going on another date with me.
He won't tell me why or how or anything about that statement. So, sadly, I turn to the internet because my friends are a bunch of idiots when it comes to guys.
What could be so bad about going on another date with me? (Please, don't take that arrogantly. I just want to know why his friends would give him a hard time.)
Thanks!
P.S. Anyone know what MHU means? This guy sent it to my friend.
1 AnswerSingles & Dating9 years agoMultiple Questions! Will You Please Help Me?
I never had a certain position in volleyball. My first coach preferred to put me in as an outside (not like I played. He had favorites.), but then he got arrested. I got a new coach, and he out me in as a libero. A lot.
I'm trying out for club, and I want to know what you should be able to do to make a 13s team for each position.
Also, can you still make a 13s team if your serves are 95% consistent but really high and your sets are mediocre at best?
What are some things I can do to get better at serving lower?
What are good exercises to build up arm strength, so when you're getting up from a dive it's fast and not as off balance?
Do you know if its possible to try out for two positions at try outs?
What are some good general workouts I could do?
Last question!
Do you think each position has a look? Like outsides have rounder faces or something? I'm just wondering.
Thanks!
4 AnswersVolleyball9 years agoMy Friend And I Were Arguing. Are Guys Perverts?
Now, guys, PLEASE don't get offended. Girls are perverted too. But my friend and I are "arguing" over whether or not the 13/14 year old guys in our grade are already thinking about having sex. She thinks it perverted, so I used that as the title.
I heard 13/14-25 years of age is when you're the most fertile and think about sex the most. Is THAT true? And when do most normal guys start thinking about sex?
Thanks!
5 AnswersOther - Society & Culture9 years agoIs It Actually Possible To Read Eyes? If So, Are There Requirements For The Relationship Between The People?
It's hard because most people don't make eye contact, but when they do, I can tell if they're happy, sad, in love, seeing something or someone they like, lying, etc.
It doesn't happen with everyone, but I just REALLY noticed it last night. I looked into the eyes of one of my guy friends, and I got a mind full of how he was feeling.
He wanted someone; he was really happy; the person was really close; the list goes on.
Is this a legitimate thing? Is there a reason why it just started getting really noticable? Is there some needed bond between the people for me to be able to read their eyes?
Thank you!
1 AnswerOther - Society & Culture9 years agoI need help. Did I do this right?
I had the equation l2x-5/3l = 7
2x-5/3 = 7
2x-5/3*3 = 7*3 --> 2x-5 = 21
2x-5+5 = 21+5 --> 2x = 26
2x/2 = 26/2 --> x = 13
2x-5/3 = -7
2x-5/3*3 = -7*3 --> 2x-5 = -21
2x-5+5 = -21+5 --> 2x = -16
2x/2 = -16/2 --> x = -8
I keep getting where the -8 doesn't fit when you plug it back into the original equation l2x-5/3l = 7. Am I doing my math wrong or is there really No Solution?
