Slamming the Spike and Wasting Your Competition

By Lance Winslow

If you are a Volley Ball player and you truly like to win then you are going to have to practice the hardcore spike to level the competition. And when I say level them, I do not mean level the playing field I mean completely level them into submission. This is why you personally and your team must concentrate more on slamming the spikes and wasting your competition rather than just playing the fundamentals and proper placing of the spike.

Now please hear what I am saying, I did not say do not practice and hone your skills on development of precision in the fundamentals of the game of Volley Ball. Anyone who has ever played the game competitively knows that. With certain family members who have played high level Volley Ball, I have been to enough tournaments and grueling practices to know that and you should too if you are serious about the sport.

You goal is to win and perhaps you need to play with an iron fist to win rather than observing any sort of take it easy on the competition type strategy. In other words if you competition leaves an opening pound it like you never have before like a reflex from hell into the hole. If your competition jumps to high to block pound it towards their heads. You must play to win and stop thinking otherwise. Volley Ball Strategies should include; Slamming the Spike and Wasting Your Competition. So, please consider this in 2006.
