More social /talkitave for volleyball??

Question

Im tho only volleyball player from middle school going to this highschool and The one thing that the coach said was he wants a talkitave person. How do i lear to talk more im the only Freshman and i dont no anyone ???

Answer 1

Just be friendly with everybody on the team, and while on the court yell loud if you've got the ball, or if you see a tip or where the hitters going to hit.  =)

Answer 2

um i think he means on the court... he shouldn't care what you do outside volleyball

I've played volleyball for a long time and i never talk much... when i first started the only time i usually talked was if i was calling a ball or asking a question...

then once the teams were established everyone became close friends and of course there was lots of talking then.

so if you know how to call the ball when you step on the court the real problem is your fear of new people... honestly don't sweat it just walk in and do it. if you're worried about looking stupid you're going to look stupid. just try hard the and upperclassmen will respect your dedication and maturity

Answer 3

i think he means talkitive by like talking on the court. say good job or nice up whenever someone has a good dig. always call the ball. highfive the server if they go by you. etc

Answer 4

i am wondering if the coach saying "talkative" meant to be loud, talkative and a leader  on the court. i honestly don't think  a coach would care if someone was shy or outgoing.

from how i perceived it, by the coach telling you he wants someone "talkative", i think he/she may mean they want a person who is willing to call the ball, cheer on their teammates, and be able to tell people where they should be/ do if they are confused.

good luck, im sure you'll do great.

Answer 5

Well, you all got one thing in common. A love/passion for volleyball and you are all great at it if your on varsity. Start there. If something funny happened at a practice or whatever talk about it. Just be open and friendly. Everybody will like you if your like that.

One tip though, don't walk in there acting like you are really good at volleyball, because the truth is, they are probably better because they are older. Also, they will probably not like you as much if they think you are stuck up!

Answer 6

The best thing to do is just small talk to people and dont go straight to the seniors start with the sophmores! And then with time they will talk start talking to you more and when you play give it all you got you wont be sorry!

Answer 7

what he means is when you are on the court (especially in games) RUN YOUR MOUTH

never stop talking

example

"alright girls, lets get it back, we got this! come on this is ours! side out, ladies! we got it girls!" that sorta pump up stuff..(even if you are on the godforsaken bench)

when the ball is in play just keep talking, shout! "Mine! yeah here! set me! power/outside/middle/got it, cover, balls up, free ball!"

that sorta stuff! and be confident - you are fabulous!

Answer 8

I was in your exact situation a season ago. The key for me was to just play my best and encourage the team to start, simple things like "keep it up" when you're doing good or if your team is less than hot, say something supportive, but urging. As soon as you say something less than supportive, you're blacklisted :p so that's key. Once the little things have gotten you tighter with them, feel free to start being humorous with them and that good stuff, cuz you all strive for the same thing and you are helping them get there.

Answer 9

I've gone through this too. I go to a new place not knowing anybody and I'm not sure if they like me. But after you get used to the place and the people, you might end up loving it and making some really great friends. I did!

Start out by going up to someone that seems nice. Maybe a sophomore/junior? Talk about what you know you both have in common: volleyball. Then start to get to know her. You might get introduced to even more people.

Just don't show off, or act like you're really good. And don't be stuck up, and try not to rub off as someone that is.

And don't be shy! When someone hits a nice shot, tell them. Say, good job. And maybe ask for some pointers. Most of the girls should be happy to help you with vb.

They shouldn't care that you're a few years younger, just don't act like a little kid.

You should gain their respect.
