Answer 5

A team sport is supposed to be all working together to try to win. You will lose and win and have to learn to accept it, but always do your best. I played volleyball for 35 years and I am a 59 year old woman . I was one of their best servers......once serving up as many as 13 points. I get serious.....not nasty....but we are out to win. I find it easier to think of the other team as not being friens in order to imporve my game. It's the same as boxing except that is two people against each other. If I didn't put on a game face and acted like I loved my opponent, I wouldn't want to hit them...thus defeating the whole purpose.

I am a little confused here as I thought it said attitude but it's altitude?

Altitude changes many things. At a high altitude, it is harder to breathe and takes getting used to. The air is thin and the ball reacts differently. it's the same principle as any ball that is in cold weather or hot weather. It will affect the way it bounces or is caught or hit.

Whatever you are used to as far as altitude, you will always have to adjust to lower altitudes. It depends on what or here you are accustomed to playing. If I was playing in the Rockies where the air is thin, I couldn't breathe as well so therefore it would affect my game. I would have to use breathe right strips or make some adjustments for the thin air.
