Volleyball is a growing sport in the United States. Whether you've played it competitively, in gym, or just recreationally you have in some shape or form played volleyball. But this is a shout out to all of the competitive volleyball players out there. I'm sure you can related to some of the things I list below:
1. Your forearms are hard as steel from all of the passing and receiving you do at practice
2. You celebrate every play
3. You get annoyed when people think gym volleyball and the volleyball you play are the same
4. The dropping feeling in your stomach if you face a middle hitter without a block
5. Being obnoxiously loud and antagonizing is part of the game
6. That feeling you get when the only sound heard in the gym is your hand, the ball, and the floor
