How to i jump?

Question

i have a problem jumping out there and talking to people i try the best i can but i get nervous and feel stupid any tips

Answer 1

Jumping: Work on your vertical, do bleachers and stuff.

Talking: Don't feel stupid! That's what I was afraid of. But the thing is, you'll look stupid if you're not talking because people will call you off and will take over. If YOU want the ball then YOU need to talk. That's a problem I had to overcome, and I'm still working on it, but because I'm talking now and our team's doing better.

Good luck!

To tell the truth man... i don't care how ugly or shy or w/e you may be. People will talk to you... Just have something interesting to say or ask questions that aren't too personal. I normally start out a convo like, "Hey, I'm David." they answer. then I say, "Oh cool, where you from?" or something like that. Good tid bit of information for conversation is to end your statement in a question. For example: I say, "Hi Jessica, how are you doing?" She says, "Fine you?" see, she answered my question and asked another. I'd reply, "pretty good, just glad it's friday." *something minor but something that still stood out today since it's not always friday.* She'd then reply with something like, "yeah" or "haha me too!" if she doesn't ask another question, then you have to come up with something, like "what are you doing this weekend, or I can't wait to go do blah blah blah. *something interesting you're going to be doing this weekend.* She sounds interested then you should be like, "You should come, it'll be fun!"  If nothing else... tell jokes. If you don't know what kind of jokes to tell... the ones on the back of hte playboy centerfold are the kind i'm talking about... If it's girls you want to talk to... realize.. they're people too. Rejection is the same as applying for a credit card. Sometimes you get approved, sometimes you don't... There's always another company that will give you a credit card. Some people are more lucky than others... *higher credit score = bigger D, more confidence, looks...* but still... ANYBODY can get a credit card. just like anybody can get a girl. it's all in finding the right one and not being scared to go for it. I used to be shy... I made a drastic change in my life *cut off 18" of hair* and said to myself... eff it, what's it gonna hurt to try. I've been pretty successful since then man.

Answer 3

Okay, I'm not sure what the question is, but if you're asking how to jump high, lift lots of weights, but if you're asking how to talk lots without feeling stupid.

Have fun with it, if someone else looks at you funny, talk louder, don't get embarassed, tell others to talk with you, get the entire team talking, and if its just you then oh well FORGET the rest of them, talk louder! carry the team!!! be the captain THIS year! why not! you gotta have that spirit, that fight, that want to do it all. you gotta get excited with everything have. FUN.

Answer 4

Answer 5

The aswer is very simple:

Be yourself

Don't get disappointed if someone gets to avoid you then, this means that he doesn't like your real self and if he doesn't, he can't be your friend.People out there will love you because of yourself, not because telling stupid jokes, or acting like someone else or whatsoever. Finally, this person that will act this way, will be given the chance to see the real you and then decide. You don't need to have friends that don't like you. Turn your back.

But be yourself. Once you start, you will get more friends than you could ever imagine!

Good luck!;)

Well, your not going to get anywhere if you always feel stupid when you mess up.  Just shake it off, because there is no perfect volleyball player.  Just concentrate on getting off the ground, and soon enough, it will come naturally to you.  Just jump around at your house when walking from room to room, and this will help, trust me. :D
