Being a high school athlete was all the rage. You were the popular kid in the school and everyone knew who you were. If you come to college and you're not on the sports team anymore, there are some signs that you don't play.
Here are six signs that you're an Ex Volleyball Player.
1. Your knees hurt when you walk up and down stairs.
All those years of diving for volleyballs have come to bite you in the butt and now that you're using them as much anymore they are rusting up like the tin man in the "Wizard of Oz." Sadly, you feel old because of it.
2. Not only are your knees bad, but so are your ankles.
Not only did you have one sprained ankle, but you have at least three or four. Once may have been your fault because you landed wrong while making an awesome kill. But the other couple of times were because the other team doesn't know how to stay on their side of the net and you landed on their foot. How horrible can they be. Not you have to live with weak ankles for the rest of your life.
3. You're losing your volleyball butt.
You used to have a nice volleyball butt from all those squats at practice and having to stay low to get those digs, but now you're out of it. You're in college now and you drink. You might work out on a regular basis, but you don't have the same work out schedule that volleyball practice put you in and you will never have the same volleyball butt ever again.
4. When you play for fun, you can't pass anymore.
Let me set this up for you. You step onto the court feeling like you own the place! You get low, ready for the serve. Serve is up! You shuffle your feet and get to the ball. You watch the ball come into your arms when all of a sudden it shanks off yours arm and it hits your partner in the face! Well that's embarrassing and you will never play for fun again.
5. You are so out of shape.
You haven't played for maybe two months but volleyball is an intense sport and you can literally die on the court. (At least that's what you think because you can't NOT give it you're all. You've been trained that way for 12 years of you're lifetime.)
6. You've lost all ability to jump.
When you go up to spike the ball it goes into the net every single time. You lost all your hops. Who knew that going from the age of 18 to 19 literally meant that you can't jump anymore?
Needless to say, I don't play volleyball anymore, but I sure do miss it.
