November 7: Navigating Club Volleyball Tryouts
Club tryouts are right around the corner, and with them comes a whole lot of questions, nerves, and uncertainty.
What are coaches actually looking for? What if teams have already pre-signed most of their athletes? How do I stand out? And what happens if I don’t make the team I want? What if I don’t make the performance team?
Join me for a live conversation about navigating club tryouts, preparing with purpose, and managing the pressure that comes with wanting to make a team.
We’ll talk about what coaches actually look for (beyond skill!), how pre-signing and team selections affect the process, and why you shouldn’t count yourself out before you’ve had the opportunity to compete.
We’ll also dig into the mental side of tryouts: what confidence really looks like, how to handle mistakes, and practical tools to recognize, reset, and redirect your thoughts when things aren’t going your way.
And because tryouts don’t always go the way we hope, we’ll talk about navigating disappointment, keeping perspective, and understanding that one team selection doesn’t define your future in volleyball.
The goal? To help athletes walk into tryouts feeling prepared, willing to compete, and focused on what they can control — regardless of the outcome.
