However, that last 10%, the mental part is what can take your game to 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in high school, I went to a volleyball camp at Duke University. I was invited to the camp several summers in a row and one of my favorite parts was being able to talk with the players and ask them questions about the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my junior year, I asked one of the outside players at the time <strong>what took her game to the next level<\/strong>. She said the usual&#8230; more reps, competitive experiences, having different coaches, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also commented, <em>&#8220;If I had to choose one thing though, it\u2019d be my mental game.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, I was unfamiliar with <strong>mental toughness.<\/strong> I had coaches that would say, <em>&#8220;You have to be <strong>mentally tough,&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> but I didn\u2019t understand all that it entailed or how to become <strong>mentally tough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This outside player at Duke was a 6-rotation player, and she explained to me that understanding the <strong>mental game<\/strong> and training her mind influenced her ability to be a 6-rotation player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serve receive may be one of the most difficult tasks in volleyball. Many reasons might impact this struggle, such as the pace of the ball, the distance it travels, wanting to start the play with a good pass, a &#8220;3&#8221;, being <strong>pressured<\/strong> to get a first ball kill, not wanting to feel <strong>frustrated<\/strong> or <strong>embarrassed<\/strong> if you shank a ball, and anything similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular outside was an excellent attacker, but she struggled with passing, especially in serve receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She told me that she had <strong>mental coaching<\/strong> once she got to Duke, and through the <strong>mental training<\/strong> she learned ways to be successful in serve receive. She learned how to take her game to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that conversation with a collegiate player in Cameron Indoor Stadium, I wanted to start learning more about the <strong>mental game<\/strong> as a player. I began to research <strong>&#8220;mental toughness&#8221;<\/strong> and read a book or two about the <strong>mental game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From that, I learned a <strong>pre-match routine<\/strong> as well as a <strong>pre-serve<\/strong> and <strong>serve receive routine.<\/strong> Additionally, I began talking to myself in a more <strong>positive, confident<\/strong> way after mistakes and even in <strong>preparation<\/strong> for a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Those_slight_changes_in_my_mindset_influenced_my_ability_to_reach_the_next_level_of_my_game\"><\/span>Those slight changes in my mindset influenced my ability to reach the next level of my game.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to improve your <strong>mental skills<\/strong> as a volleyball player, work with a <strong>mental coach,<\/strong> read <strong>mental training<\/strong> books, listen to our podcasts on the <strong>mental game;<\/strong> tap into resources that help you gain an understanding and apply your knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you become aware of your own <strong>mental game,<\/strong> you can more easily make improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Train your mind like you train your body. And, how often do you train your body?<\/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 <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a> 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?
