Reflection

For my reflection, I decided to use a video of me playing volleyball at a tournament this year.

#4, blue jersey.

A) I decided to use this video because I am really proud of what I was able to accomplish during this short volleyball season. After learning that I had made the team, I was genuinely surprised to not be playing libero—instead, I found out that I would be a setter.

B) There are many things that made me proud of myself this season. The thing that I’m the most proud of, is the fact that I was able to be a good setter to my team mates, despite my height. I proved to myself and others around me that I can be a good athlete, even if I’m smaller than the average setter.

C) Even though I had a pretty good season, I faced many challenges along the way. Firstly, I’m only five foot one and all the hitters on our team are quite tall—so sometimes it was difficult to set the ball high enough for my friends to hit. As a perfectionist, it often bothered me when I wasn’t able to make a good pass, and I was very self-critical of myself during games, even though it was only natural to make mistakes.

C) If there was something I would change, I would say that I’d like to try to be more patient with myself. Afterall, one does not become a champion overnight.
