I’m the libero on my team and team captain. I joined the team being told I was good at hyping up the team, but it was hilarious to me because I vividly remember crying before the first practice because I was so intimidated by everyone on my team. For everyone out there, and also something I wish I had known, YOUR TEAM ARE YOUR FAMILY. THEY LEARN AS YOU LEARN. THEY FALL WHEN YOU FALL. THEY FIGHT WHEN YOU FIGHT. Remember that you need your team and your team needs you!

honestly you can’t imagine how much I needed to hear the last words you said. I was recruited for this team in another city but the problem is I always doubt on myself, now I know that if I’m here is because of something. Thanks for this video 🥺❤️

Hi Victoria i love ur videos on volleyball and the rest they really inspire me to become a indepented person and learn to play volleyball. Thx

I love you sososo much victoria iv watched all your videos and each one hase helped me emenslly!❤

I would love to play in college but I would not be able to handle the stress of it all.

I hope to see y’all on the court no matter what side. I’m excited!!

Absolutely inspiring and informational. The college sports community over there is much more intense and there are much higher stakes than where I am from (whatever you mentioned here that applies to college athletes only applies to national athletes where I am from) and I guess I shall live vicariously through these kinds of videos :) I may not be on my university's team but this motivated me to do much better in the sports I am participating in for the rest of my university years. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Continue making videos Victoria. Im ur number one fan from the Philippines heheh. Luv u

You're such a good volleyball player and I look up to . Volleyball is such a fun game. Thanks for posting this video i needed this. I love you

hi Victoria, good video, I'm personal trainer and I get some of the college athletes at our gym to train and a lot of times just to kick around ideas (such as fat loss which everyone seems to be interested in). Let me quickly add that I'm not an athletic trainer, I mainly work with girls for fitness competitions to look more aesthetic not to be a better athlete. I usually get the girls during their off season just to help them look better which is much different than the type of training needed to be a better athlete. But I'm going to forward this video to a couple of them as I think they would find it interesting and helpful. Have a good day and good workout! All the best...

Thank You so much for sharing, this helps so much

LOVE THIS SO MUCH you inspired me to make my own video and def helped me out for the rest of years as a student athlete thank you!

Love your vids keep it up

I’ve been having kinda a rough season so far because I’m now figuring out what position I want and trying to work my best at it. But I try to be this miss perfect person all the time and try to be the one to be there for others and being captain is even more stress and trying to keep the highest grades in school and this video just helped even though it’s meant for college it still helped with being a high school athlete and I love when you do videos like this it inspires me so much thank you♥️♥️

So glad I found your videos. They are absolutely great.

I loved watching this video, even though the sports/college thing works differently in the Netherlands and thus I'm not going to be a college athlete it's still good to watch this video. It's great life advice. You're so open and fun that it feels like I know you from just watching one video. Thanks

Thanks for the info! You are an amazing volleyball player and I have learned so much from you❤️💛 Fight on, your awesome🏐 #justlikegarrick

No one should feel like they are on their own.

love this video!!!

Being an athlete is one of the most awesome yet challenging stuff ever..thank you for such insights💃🏻💯 exactly why I started a KZread channel to talk about the real sport and academic life we as athletes go through that nobody talks about..

As a former D1 volleyball athlete, i love this whole list. It’s so true. One bonus thing i would add is, “you don’t HAVE to commit Div. 1; there are good Div. 2 and 3 schools where you can still get a scholarship but will probably have a better well-rounded student-athlete experience.” Sure, there is clout in Div. 1, but sometimes the mental health-decline in Div. 1 isn’t worth it, a lot of the coaches are absolutely gnarley- i had a coach who was manipulative, abusive and antagonistic, my mental health declined substantially, but i was made to feel it was still my fault; in our conference there were 3 coaches that were known to act antagonistic towards their players. Th pressure to win at all cost sometimes comes at the price of the athlete’s mental health. My friends who played in Div. 3 all had great and positive experiences, i wonder what that was like 😅

Loved yr video! ❤️🖤

I actually sat through the whole video. Your amazing made, me laugh and taught me a few

love your channel so much

I'm a sophmore in high school and didnt make the JV team. I just tried out for club which can help me get better at volleyball and I'm slightly nervpus because my whole volleyball career depends on it but I just watched your interview with Coach Donny from Elevate Yourself and now this video and it's a real eye opener. Even though I love volleyball, I wont quit and keep trying so Thank You So Much for your vids Ur so positive and just a volleyball inspiration💜

I find you as a very inspirational and important player. I’m a very good and a hardworking player and I wish I had exposition or connections to be able to play division 1 but I don’t know how to increase my chances of being recruited.

The last one really hit home. I’m still in high school but I would love to play volleyball in college/university, but then I get these thoughts of all these other girls have so much more experience than me, I didn’t even make the more competitive team this year why would I be capable of playing at such high levels and I tell myself you’re just gunna have to work harder, practice more etc. And yet it’s so different because I’m doing this on my own and I start to think is this what I really want? When people look at me they don’t see a volleyball player, and I really need to feel validation from someone that this is something I can do. Sorry for the rant and thank you for your help

This is huge! Whether they play a sport or not, every high school kid that's planning to go to college should hear this.

Just for you know. . With your contents you help Brazilians like me . Thank you so much !!

The 10th tip made me feel so much better! At my school they had 10 players already and 2 spots left and I got the spot, but I felt like they were so much better than me and that I was just an extra. You made me feel so much better that I was 30 minutes ago

SUPER VIDEO‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I missed your posting I was at a volleyball game

i started volleyball in 8th grade, i learned my overhand serve during that time, and then the season was canceled because of covid. the high school season was postponed to spring, and we had tryouts. i was still so new to the game. i got onto the freshman team, and my coach taught me so much. i ended up becoming team captain, and i am middle blocker/hitter. the season was shortened, so i’ve been out practicing. i watched your video the other day, and got my jump serve. now i am just working on my jumping to jump higher😊

This is great advice! What do you think the most important thing to do to get recruited for a D1 college sport is?

Hey Victoria, I just wanted to thank you for doing everything you do. I’m 19 and in the last year of my diploma all the way from Singapore. I don’t play Volleyball but I play Tchoukball, which has rather similar rules (ie. ball can’t touch the floor, three passes, mostly a defensive game). I don’t play at a college level (as I am still in pre-u) and we don’t have divisions or anything but we have a competition where all the pre-us in this small country come together and play. I got into the team as one of the 12 players and even if I am still mostly bench (even though my coach says he doesn’t care), I still suffer from a bit of imposter syndrome because I may have the skills but my stamina suCks... and it’s also my last year so yakno... for the longest time, I’ve been wondering why I keep on attending trainings and going for games when I could have just not gone or quit. Mentally, I was pretty much a disaster. After I saw how enthusiastic you are about Volleyball, I realised I had the same enthusiasm for my sport. I realised that I wanted to play competitively for my enjoyment. I realised I wanted to challenge myself. My position requires me to be the best defender in my team and watching your past games with USC, you and your teammates diving for the ball, all the saves that you all do, it has somewhat motivated to become a better defender. Every time, I am nervous before a Friendly match, I will search one of your USC games up and watch it. It calms me down for some reason (I sound like a stalker now 🥺). This video also helped me feel better mentally. I was always worried that I had to please people in my team to ‘deserve’ the spot. I realised that I can literally put all my brain power from that into focusing on the game, rather than worrying if my teammate doesn’t like me because she didn’t high five with me... I’m still trying to me a better player, both mentally and physically! I am not sure if I still want to continue this sport in Uni, but it would be nice if I did haha...
