In one's eyes, volleyball may be considered a sport ruled by strength and power, but in another's eyes it may depend on strategy and mental challenges. In all respects, it's both, and the resulting combination is a certain attitude carried among a player. An attitude represents the persona by which others are going to perceive about you. I talk about attitude because I've actually encounter many people's attitude and how it affects others on the court. I don't mind if players walk onto a court and starts spouting a lot of talk about their skills or how good they are as long as they have the ability to back it up. I'm not intimidated by it. If they are that good, then playing against them is going to help me improve in my gamek. But if they can't backup what they're saying, then it can turn into a joke. I recently had this happen where I had someone come up to me at sign-up at Brandeis throwing around a lot of titles and such. And my response, "yeah, so." He had to get in line and wait around just like everyone else. Then as we were watching him play, people all around were shocked to find out his skills were less than spectacular after he was talking big and throwing it out there that his was a "semi-pro." It's usually the people who do too much talking usually aren't the ones with all the skills. But then there is positive attitude. These people are the gems of the court because they lend their postive energy to the team, helping them to improve, boosting others confidence and basically being a cheerleader of a team. Their attitude is ruled as unselfish. Give me that kind of attitude any time, and the other kind can just continue to hit their ball in the net.
