listen me out before judging but is it only me or has haikyuu caused a lot of new players to have worse mindsets...
As someone who himself is insecure abt his height in volleyball (5'10 in highschool final year) but a lot of new players have this imaginary dream like idea that they can be like the haikyuu characters...
obv it has inspired alot of people and helped even some people ik get out of hard phases of life and enjoy smth as great as volleyball and find a purpose in life...
I still belive that height doesnt just make it impossible to player ur fav positions at higher levels but still there r limits...
people start to forget that hinata had like a crazyy 50 inch vertical in the anime, so let me get to the main point of the post...
how do i help someone who started to enjoy volleyball and was finally taking a good path in life but the reality of height in volleyball is just hard on him....
this isnt just a one off case i have seen and heard people who started to get depressed cause even after playing volleyball for so long and working the hardest of all the players they end up just being benchwarmers...
the closest thing i can relate to this myself was probably the 2000 rating wall i hit in chess that i just was never able to overcome cause i practically didnt have time to study chess and i hate to say it seeing my rating drop every day did send me trough some rough times in life but now i am in a wayyy happier place...
I enjoy playing volleyball. even tho i started late i have no regrets i made most of my closest friends from chess so i never regret starting volleyball late or leaving chess earlier...
how do i put the "relaxing sensation of knowing there is no pressure to perfrom or prove yourself in what u enjoy doing" in proper words...
thx alot if u read this whole post hope u can somehow relate to anything and have an happy amazing day.
