For me, volleyball is a journey of self discovery. I play for fun, activity, and girl time, but it has turned into a way for me to explore my potential as a physical and spiritual human being. As I get older, my body is actually getting stronger, healthier, more flexible because of this sport. I fight fear, insecurity, and self doubt through volleyball. I see myself in the mirror that these amazing, athletic women of volleyball hold up to me during competition and am pleased to see my strengths and humbled to see my weaknesses over and over again. I practice silencing critical voices so that I can listen to the one voice that truly has the power to make my life wonderful...mine. This is the voice that give me courage to play and train outside my comfort zone to discover my potential. I suspect each one of us has some variation on the reason we play sports; might be interesting to explore your reasons.
