I use my left hand to “guide” my right hand to the ball while it’s in the air, and that really helped me to improve my serves! Also making sure you contact the ball at full arm extension so your power transfers better to the ball 👍🏼

@Sara Sorbello I’m so glad!! Thanks for sharing 😄

I sing, play piano and guitar, garden, crochet, paint and make jewelry! Oh I also workout (weightlifting is my favourite) 💪🏼

@Gabriel Augusto de Sousa that’s really great, I think hobbies are super important! Obviously I love them, haha

I played competitively in school for six years with three seasons of competitive club ball thrown in. I picked it up again just last Fall with drop-in vball and I’ve started playing in fun mixed tournaments! My favourite position is outside hitter, but opposite was fun too because of all of the massive blocks I could get in against the outside hitters 🙌🏼

When practicing your approach, I’d recommend you approach it like a lion or cheetah - stay low to the ground until your “prey” (the ball) is close enough for you to attack it. Throw both arms behind you on that first step as usually, but get your upper body bent forward a bit. Then when you go into your last two steps you’re still pretty low to the ground until your forward arm swing throws you into the air. Maybe that predator/prey visual can help keep you from jumping into your second and third steps? So it’s more of a (throw both arms back) one… two-three (arms going forward and up) approach. Let me know if that helps at all!!
