Sports are something I love doing and watching but have never been good at. Volleyball was the first sport I could actually say Im not terrible at and have confidence in my skill. Volleyball gave me many things that other sports never could which were confidence and leadership role/responsibility. I always looked down upon volleyball when I was younger and thought it was such a boring sport to watch and because of that boring to play. This idea of volleyball being so bland and boring changed when I first tried out for the team. What changed my thinking was the fact that I was finally better at something than the majority. The moment when it finally sank in that volleyball was going to be part of my future was when kids in my grade were asking for help. Originally when I heard my teammate ask for help I had no idea how to help him because I too had just learned how to play and since it was tryouts I really didn’t want help but when I attempted to help I was just confusing myself. Attempting to help kids with things, especially sports was something I was never something I comfortable doing or was good enough to even be asked. Knowing was I good enough at volleyball that my friends are asking me for help was something I would feed off of as a confidence booster since I used to be a negative person. This confidence would end up taking me to 10th grade where I was one of the captains of the JV team. In the many sports Ive played I have never been anywhere near the top so I was never someone that had to control my teammates. During my 10th grade season, this role of being captain hit me like a train. Within the first month of the season, my other co-captains were forced to convince a kid to not quit the team. The kid wanted to quit because he felt our coach was targeting him. This was very hard for me because I didnt even like the kid, he was always someone that tried to start things with me so it was very hard for me mentally to convince him to stay. I knew that now that I was one of the captains I had to push my feelings to the side and convince him to stay on the team.

Also, as captain, I was accountable to be a role model to my younger teammates and not act out. I was not used to having little to any influence on others, so I was used to acting and saying the first thoughts. The moment my teammate gets hit in the head with a volleyball since they werent paying attention I did what most of my teammates did, which was laugh with everyone else (knowing it was wrong). This would be the completely wrong reaction that my fellow captains and I should have done. Our coach wanted us to stop everyone else from laughing, but when he saw everyone laughing he was furious. He would make us as a team do punishments like suicides. From this situation, I was able to learn that there are certain times to laugh, and as a leader of the team, you have a responsibility.
