Why are players hard on others when they miss the ball?

Question

Are they purposely trying to be mean directly or are they just competitive? I get the feeling they don't like me because they're frustrated..

Answer 1

So that can hurt thems instead of other people. Just say to that person nice try you will get it next time.

Answer 2

I think your correct,,,,they're frustrated with themselves !!!!! so they take it out on others ...

Answer 3

they probly are just very competitive and mad that you were the one that messed up on a chance to win or something.

the only reason if they dont like you is probly cause they think that they are better then you and your causing them to lose or maybe they are just jealous. who knows? people can be just mean cause they are like that too.

help any?

Answer 4

exactly, it's because they're FRUSTRATED. i agree with livin life. & i read your other question. if you know you're not the best, then try going to practice, but sitting out for one or two games. so that when you play, you're better.

and dont let the comments they make get to you. they're just frustrated. and anyways, if it's bothering you, talk to the coach & your teamates.

Answer 5

just part of sports we pro and we all hate to lose a error just like a hit give the opponent another hit

Answer 6

It's hard sometimes for more competitive players, a lot of them think they won't make the same mistake.  In all honesty though, I think if you look at it, they're a lot harder on themselves if they do make the same mistake.  It's for the win, but it's not really a good attitude.

At no point in time are they just being malicious I think, it's a sense of frustration at not being able to do anything at that particular moment.  I mentioned in my other post, you just have to work at it and work through it.  You'll get better, and a little more tough skinned while you're at it (I know I did), and then you'll be playing better and it won't happen too often.  Some people are just super competitive and so they'll go all out and get super frustrated when they don't think they're team is playing as well as they should, that's happened with me before, you'll just have to grin and bear it sometimes, but you know that there might be something you can work on to help.

Answer 7

well.. you shouldn't miss the ball...  

they are probably just annoyed that that person is bringing the team down and they are trying to win

and if you keep missing the ball they are going to keep yelling at you and disliking you.

maybe volleyball isn't your thing..

Answer 8

if ur talking about pro players it's because they get paid millions of dollars 2 win, n so they shouldn't miss the ball

Answer 9

Its easier to take it out on others and blame them....

Answer 10

Some people are just competitive.  

And some people just feel better if they put other people down.  If you are making mistakes, they feel better.

Answer 11

They are trying to win.  Maybe you should practice more so ou are better at your game.

Answer 12

They want to win!!

Answer 13

they shouldn't be doing that..simple as that

if you couldn't have gotten it, why didn't they?? ur supposed to work as a team--a team makes each other look good, not just themselves

if its a big problem, talk to the coach about it

Answer 14

last year i screamed at some girls for that same thing! see they get court time but s***w everyone over by not practising which gives the other team points. SIMPLE SOLUTION DON'T MESS UP AND PRACTICE ALOT THERE FORE YOU ARE GETTING BETTER
