can appear quickly and easily, such as:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>&#8220;I hope she doesn\u2019t hit it to me.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>&#8220;I suck at serve-receive.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>&#8220;I can\u2019t believe I missed that serve, how could I let my team down?&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most athletes, volleyball players can talk themselves into victory or defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grew up with volleyball standout, Megan Hodge&#8230; After high school, Megan took her talents to Penn State, where her team won several National Championships and she earned countless awards and recognition&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some of those include multi-year NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Player, First-Team All-American, and Big Ten Player of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan continued in her success and went on to play professionally after college, earning numerous World Championship Medals, along with a Silver Medal in the 2012 Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were crosstown rivals in high school and her dominance always made it a struggle to compete against. I was a fairly skilled player myself, but I would get <strong>nervous<\/strong> and <strong>anxious<\/strong> playing across the net from Megan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophomore year, my team was down 0-2 going into the third set, in their house. I was also an outside and my setter at the time pulled me over as we walked onto the court for a line-up check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She told me, <em>&#8220;You hit just as hard as Megan. You can do this. Tell yourself you can score each attack.&#8221;<\/em> While I don\u2019t think my swing was as powerful as Megan\u2019s, I knew I could score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I continued to repeat those <strong>positive key phrases<\/strong> to myself through the rest of the match. My team ended up winning the next two sets and the 5th set, in which I was unstoppable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the game had ended, my coach came up to me and said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;You were on fire. I knew you were going to score each time you got set, and I think you did too. You were fist pumping in the air before you even landed.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having CONFIDENT thoughts going into a game and during a match can greatly impact your performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to write down a few <strong>positive<\/strong> words or phrases that resonate with you&#8211;ones you can steadily repeat before and during a match. Something like, <em>&#8220;You got this,&#8221; &#8220;Next ball,&#8221; &#8220;You\u2019re a great hitter,&#8221; <\/em>or,<em> &#8220;Reset.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, practice using these positive words during practice time, so that on game day it comes more easily. As I mentioned earlier, you can talk yourself into victory or defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What words are you going to use?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/do-you-or-your-team-have-the-comeback-mindset\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-prepare-for-pressure-in-volleyball\/\"><strong>How to Prepare for Pressure in Volleyball<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-grow-competition-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-develop-a-champion-mindset-in-volleyball\/\"><strong>How to Develop a Champion Mindset in Volleyball<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-preparation-boosts-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/fragile-confidence-and-perfectionism-in-volleyball\/\"><strong>Fragile Confidence and Perfectionism in Volleyball<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/a> <\/strong>on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Mental_Edge_For_Volleyball_Players\"><\/span>The Mental Edge For Volleyball Players<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mental-edge-vollyball-large.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20425\" style=\"width:186px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mental-edge-vollyball-large.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mental-edge-vollyball-large-270x300.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Do you <strong>over think<\/strong> your performance in games?
