Omg first day of volleyball camp and the girls already hate me! plus im hurt! wat to do?

Question

if u saw my question earlier i have 3 days of volleyball camp this week for 6 1/2 hours ughh and today was the first day. it was with my entire volleyball team, and im just a freshman, and ive only been playing 3 years. when i first got there things were going good then we got into these groups and i was with a senior and junior we had to do these defensive drills and like make like a certain amount of good passes. im not very good on defense and i kept messing up. the senior was nice about it, she wasnt being mean but the junior omg she talked about me behind my back the whole time and she was a total ***** to me the rest of the day. she thinks i should just quit. shouldnt these older girls help me? and ive also had knee problems for awhile and its killing me right now. idk how well tomorrow is going to be, but i feel i should just quit. wat should i do?

Answer 1

DON`T QUIT! try massaging your knee, and put some heat on it.  Do the best you can, and ignore the jerks. Try Approaching one of the less-evil girls for help, and try talking to some of the other Freshman, at least a couple other kids are probably having the same problem and could use a friend. If you still get made fun of, creep up behind her well she`s talking, put your head on her shoulders and scream "Watcha DOING?"  in her ear. She`ll be a lot more wary around you if she thinks your some kind of Crazed Lunatic.

Answer 2

Don't give up! If you stick it out and work hard, you'll get better. Nobody plays like an all star when they are just starting out, as a freshman you have plenty of time to improve. Don't beat yourself up over your weak areas...just think of them as opportunities. Ask your coach what kind of drills and conditioning you can do at home to prepare for the team. (Perhaps this info is available online as well) If you develop a workout plan and stick to it all summer, I bet you will notice a difference by August.

I wouldn't worry about the mean girl. That girl was being a poor sportsman, that is not the way a good team player behaves. Be the bigger person, just ignore her. Who knows, maybe she is trying to discourage you because she is afraid you may stick with it, get better, and take her place next year!

About your knee, I would ask the athletic trainer at your school to take a look and make some recomendations for proper care, stretching and strenghthening etc. Prevention can go a long way when it comes to sports injuries, don't wait till you are in agony, I would see what you can do about it now, before the season starts. Good luck! =)

Answer 3

you shouldn't worry about what the other girls think of you. go play because you love to play and respect the girls even if you don't like them- a team that doesn't have respect for each other is a losing team

even tough you're hurt you should still go to the camp

talk to the coach and tell her that you're hurt and do what you can it will show the coach that you're dedicated and that you really want to be on the team

good luck and i hope your knee feels better

Answer 4

if u hurt don't go but if u feel like ur knee alrite then go and don't worry bout that junior she immature

Answer 5

don't quit, or she'll never stop teasing you about it.

Answer 6

If you like playing volleyball, then you should try and stick it out a little longer. You should just hang out with the nicer girls and don't let the meaner ones get to you. There are always going to be people out there who want to bring you down. If you ignore her and don't let her childish behavior bother you then she should get the message and back off. If not, then just try to become the best d**n volleyball player on the team; if you upstage her, she's got nothing to trash you about.

You can also try getting a brace for your knee. I had some problems with mine and I saw my doctor about it and she gave me a special brace which really helped.

Answer 7

for the knee, i would definitely get a brace. i have had problems with mean girls on my team. i remember on my club team this past year, there was this girl i just did not get along with. it seemed as if she just thought she was the best player, and worse..she was the setter opposite me..so we had a lot of each other on the court, and because it was club, a lot of time together. everytime she would be rude, it would just push me to do better! she would always talk about me behind my back. finally, i just said something i was like "you know what if you have a problem with me, just deal with it" ever since then, we have been fine. don't let that get to you. just let it push you to get better! if your body can't handle it, practice outside of practice..run everyday.do push-ups, eat healthy foods that give you a natural energy boost. it used to kill my body too, until i took up going to the gym to get stronger, and be able to handle the pain better, i definitely suggest becoming a member of a gym.

oh anf find friends who are good at defense who can help you..

best wishes :] <3

Answer 8

dont quite hun stay in there!  work extra hard! dont sink to their level.

Answer 9

don't quit. if you like it, forget what that mean girl did and get back at her by not quitting. this was kind of how basketball camp went for me and i didn't want to play anymore. but i still did it, and i'm glad because i would have regretted quitting. just hnag in there =).

Answer 10

I HAVE SOMETHING THAT WILL PROBABLY HELP YOUR KNEE!!!!

I have a disease called osgood-schlatter and had to quit the season cuz the pain was unbearable and i didnt attack the problem fast enough.

So i was doing physical therapy and they had me doing all these stretches. That helped for a while, but once i was back in the gym, the pain came up agian. Not too bad because the stretches helped, but it still hurt to do jumping.

So i told my grandma about my pain and she gave me this product call "Animal Scents Ointment." She is really into the natural oils so she swears by it. The funny thing is, its for animals lol. But she has had hip problems for years and this is the only thing to take the pain away. So she gave me the jar, and followed directions which was to run a small amount of the ointment on the area of pain 2 times a day. After 2 days of doing this, I HAD NO PAIN AT ALL!!!! and you get and 8oz for like $22. It is so worth it!

So if your doctor cant help you that much other than saying "use ibprofin" then please get this. I swear by it.

I hope this works for you so that the pain wont make you quit volleyball. Im so happy i found this.

As for the mean girl, i totally know what you feel. I had a group of girls hate me because of personal issues with our parents and she turned a lot of people against me. All i did was put on a happy face even though i felt like c**p and just kept playing. The girl ended up just dealing with me and we actually ended up going shopping once lol. Just be strong and know that YOU CAN do this. just beleive in yourself.

Good luck!.

Answer 11

you should just ignore them

practice more and -who knows-you might even be better than some

you could be nice and ask for help

Answer 12

Kick their @ss! Show them who's the tough one around there.

Answer 13

It might be personal, it might not be. Let me explain.

The skill gap from freshman to varsity is huge. Varsity players often have little patience when working with the freshmen players.

My first year of high school volleyball put me in a lot of similar situations. The older guys thought that I sucked and my confidence went down a lot. But I worked hard and by senior year I was all-conference and I had scholarship offers to play in college.

The point is that this seems like a classic case of upperclassmen being impatient and mean. You will get better if you stick with it, and honestly the relationships with your peers are more important.

Do what you think is best, but realize that it may not be intended quite how you percieve it. If you stay, good luck and work hard.

Answer 14

dont let that girl get to you, dont quit,

she probably jealous coz ur prettier than she is, and probably better at volleyball,

just ignore her, if u let on to her that she's getting to u she'll do it even  more she'll soon get bored,

just dont quit,

good luck!
