What is the most rewarding feeling in volleyball?

Question

Is it hitting someone with a hard spike, making a fantastic diving save, roofing somebody, acing a good libero, pulling a set out of nowhere that totally fakes out their middle?

Is is a float serve that makes a passer look dumb to the spectators as they dive just to get it up?

Or is it something simple like making a dime pass?

Answer 10

The most rewarding feeling to me is revenge...I had a tournament a few days ago and in second game of semi-finals we were down 20-24 and I was serving (I had been serving since the score was 14-24). My toss was bad so I let it drop then the other coach got in the ref's face and started saying that his team had won because reserves weren't allowed and that they should get a point. So now both our team and their's had won a game. For the last game of the match I was really ticked off so I  told my setter to set me the ball so that I could take out a little of my frustration...my setter gave me a perfect set and I hit the ball so hard that it bounced off a girl from the other team and hit the ceiling. It was probably the best hit I've ever had. And that was probably the greatest feeling I have ever had. Either that or my team winning Regionals in 2006.

Answer 11

when you can't do any of those mentioned above, but then one day you suddenly can after months of practicing. =]

Answer 12

for sure roofing someone is one of the best feelings...but when you facial someone...that feeling is probably the best feeling in volleyball knowing you're a feared player

Answer 13

ohh i like this question! well right now i play as a libero and i just love it when i get a hard hit, and make a perfect dig right to the setter. another is when youre playing a really good team and youre neck and neck, and its a team you really need to beat, like to get into the gold division for example, and then you make a perfecttt dig, the setter runs a 1 and a hitter gets a kill and you win the game. mannn. haha.

Answer 14

winning.

Answer 15

First and foremost, WINNING is #1 on the list.  But if you're looking for personal satisfaction, it's a good dive.  A kill will only hit someone by chance...  if you're aiming for the person, you're risking that they'll dig it.  I used to be really good at the pancake and there's nothing like knowing you saved the play (if you win the point)..  I was never so much for the hitting because everyone loves it ...  like they say in every sport, defense wins championships

Answer 16

my favorite things is being the under dog and winning.  Expecially when you go to your opponents court and you beat them.  It happened to my team two weeks ago.  We went from #8 in cif to #1.

Answer 17

I like making a hard dive to the sand and digging out an "impossible" return - getting up and to the net in time to spike it back over.

Answer 18

Saving the ball by bumping it off the ground.

Answer 19

spiking and serving

Answer 20

love the question! for me, it's a lot of things.. i love the purity of the sport first of all.. it's awesome.

the dedication and commitment it takes is huge, and to see so many people coming together to do something they love, gives me hope for this world!

anyways, back to your question! i love making an amazing dive/save. it's awesome! and of course i love making a sweet hit that nobody has a chance to return..

it's awesome! it's a feeling like, wow you know, i'm actually good at something! OH no no actually my fave thing would be blocking a really good hitters spike. that's the best feeling ever.. you feel so strong and like "YAH IN YOUR FACE!" lol.. it's kinda mean, but i feel great when i do that!

Answer 21

blocking a hard hitter back in their face.

scares them :)

Answer 22

being a libero, i looove making a perfect pass. especially off of a really tough hit or serve. and of course making amazing saves that everyone thinks are impossible.

Answer 23

The most rewarding thing for me as a player is setting a ball that is in the exact place that a hitter wants it, seeing them hit the ball through the block and having it bounce up into the rafters.

The most rewarding thing about coaching the sport? Seeing a young man come in as a freshman or younger and not know a thing about volleyball and assume it's a girl's sport, then being there when they graduate as a first team all conference, honor society student with plans of playing in college and you can tell that you had something to do with it.

Answer 24

as a setter, my favorite is definatly "freezing" the middle blocker on the other side of the net by making them think that im going to set somewhere.. and set it the other way. its awesome

also blocking any hitter is just an awesome feeling

Answer 25

Getting back from 8:14 and won the championship... old memory though.

It could be like 16:28 in today's NCAA except we were playing sideout classic scoring.
