Top 5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Volleyball Tryouts

Tryouts aren’t just about showing your skills—they’re about showing who you are. At Houston Force Volleyball Club, we believe that preparation goes beyond the physical. It’s about mindset, effort, and heart. As you get ready to step onto the court, take a few quiet moments to reflect on the kind of athlete and teammate you want to be this season.

What kind of teammate do I want to be?

Volleyball is a team sport, and great teams are built on trust, support, and selflessness. Are you the kind of player who lifts others up? Do you hustle even when no one is watching? Your energy, attitude, and encouragement can be just as valuable as any ace or kill.

What are my personal goals for this season?

Everyone has a dream—whether it’s mastering a jump serve, earning a starting spot, or simply gaining confidence. Tryouts are the first step in that journey. Knowing what you're working toward will help you stay focused and motivated through the season.

How do I respond to feedback and challenges?

At Houston Force, we look for coachable athletes—those who welcome feedback with open minds and bounce back from tough moments with resilience. Can you listen, learn, and grow, even when things don’t go perfectly? That’s what separates good players from great ones.

Am I prepared—mentally and physically?

Have you rested, fueled up, and put in the work to feel confident on the court? Equally important—are you bringing a calm, positive mindset with you? Preparation shows not just in performance, but in how you carry yourself.

Why do I love this sport?

Never forget your “why.” That passion you feel when the ball is in play—that’s what makes you shine. Coaches notice effort, yes, but they also notice heart.

If you're still waiting to register, now's the time. Take a deep breath, trust your preparation, and walk into tryouts ready to compete—and ready to grow. Let’s chase big goals together this season. 💪🏐❤️
