Why am I so fucking bad at volleyball

You're never gonna get better at anything it if you give up

You need to keep doing it and act on instinct, don't overthink sports

Normies have been athletic their entire lives, enrolled in sports by their parents since age 6 and active until 18 or 22.

i thank zyzz everyday that i grew up surrounded by sports and was born athletic

Just smack the fucking ball op, watch where it's headed and smack the shit out of it before it crosses the net since you're tall

Are you bad at guarding the net/smashing or setting or returning? They're all different skills.

I'm guessing you were mostly doing guarding and smashing because you're tall?

It's all about timing. As long as you can touch net on a basketball hoops you just have to make sure to jump so that you can hit the ball at your apex.

Takes practice like anything else, Are you playing doubles or full teams? Teams are a bit easier because you don't have to move much and I doubt they're doing rotations. Biggest tip for a new volleyball player is that spikes are cool and all but a nicely placed tip can be just as effective. Just close your fist and use your pointer and middle finger knuckles to place it just outside/overtop of the blockers.

Well have you ever played volleyball before? No? There's your answer. Most people start bad at everything, some people have natural talent but you clearly do not. Either practice and get better if it's something you care about or give up and avoid playing volleyball again.

Graduate High School first you fucking loser.
Since you were playing with girls that means you were using a girls net.
That's only seven and a half feet tall.
You should kill yourself if you can't block everything.

Some tips for hitting:
Don't try to hit the ball hard, just make good contact
Keep the ball in front of you. This usually means youre jumping around the 10 foot line (3 meters). If you try to get super close to the net, the ball ends up behind you.
If your blocking: thumbs pointed up, fingers spread out so you don't break them. And don't fucking jump forward to block. You'll end up under the net and hurt someone

By fingers spread, I mean parallel to the net, rather than crossing the net perpendicularly
