It's Wednesday and (hopefully) you know what that means: time for another Workout Wednesday (WOW) linkup!
Today's theme is: "What's Your Favorite Sport?" If you know me at all, you probably know the answer to that question: volleyball! I've talked about what playing NCAA volleyball taught me, and definitely mention my current volleyball activities a lot on the blog. But I don't think I've really talked about why I love the sport so much. So for today's post, I'm sharing three reasons volleyball is my favorite sport.
1. You can play it in all seasons and on all surfaces
Indoor volleyball was my first love, but I've also played on grass, sand, and even concrete. It's awesome that you can really play the sport year round. I appreciate being an indoor athlete in the fall and winterwhen I watch football players struggle through rain, snow, and all kind of horrible weather. And I love being able to play at the beach in the summer and work on my tan. It's really a win win.
2. You can play it your whole life
I'm no spring chicken anymore, but I still enjoy playing volleyball at a pretty high level and hope to do so as long as possible. The age range of people I play with varies a lot, and some of the older players are sneaky good and make up for athleticism with experience and smarts. My mom still plays and we actually got to play together in a few tournaments and rec leagues when I was young. There's even a women's 65 and over division at the USA Volleyball National Championships and they had 8 teams competing last year! How's that for longevity?
3. It's the ultimate team sport
Volleyball is pretty unique in that no player can touch the ball twice in a row, which makes it the ultimate team sport. Even a really standout star player wouldn't be able to win without teammates to (sometimes literally) set them up for success. I love that about the sport, and love the tight, lifelong bonds I've formed with my teammates as a result. I seriously don't think I'd have any friends if it weren't for volleyball!

That is a great sport to play your whole life which reminds me that I haven't played in a while!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deborah! Love that you play too, definitely recommend getting out there soon :)
DeleteI have always liked volleyball - except that I am short (5'1") so there is only so much I can do. But it is fun. I also love soccer (played it in high school). Right now I focus mostly on running though #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty short for volleyball too, which is annoying but I do kind of like being the underdog and overcoming adversity. I like watching soccer but I'm terrible with my feet and the field is so big! So much running! lol
DeleteI am terrible at volleyball!! But I love reading about how much you enjoy it :).
ReplyDeleteThanks Janelle! Glad you enjoy the blog and don't get sick of all my volleyball talk. There's plenty of sports I'm terrible at too, although I want to be good at all of them lol.
DeleteHi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI love your #wowlinkup post on your favorite sport, volleyball. I had the pleasure of playing volleyball in Junior High and High School and we also played it in my neighborhood park. Unfortunately I have not played it in years but it is a great workout and a fun activity to share.
That's so cool that you played volleyball growing up! Definitely highly recommend playing it for a great social workout now :)
DeleteMy favourite sport is running--that's pretty popular, isn't it" I can't deal with balls very well. I have terrible aim and I just want to dodge it! #WOWlinkup
ReplyDeleteHaha love that! Running is great. Still can't say that I love, love it, but I definitely hate it less now! :)
DeleteAside from running, I would have to say swimming! Grew up with club and coached for 4 years for summer league.
ReplyDeleteOoh I forgot you were a swimmer! That's so awesome! I can finally (barely) swim after taking beginner and intermediate adult swimming, but it's not pretty lol.
DeleteI always get super excited when I learn about coworkers who love volleyball. The social aspect of the game is what I think keeps people coming back for more!
ReplyDeleteOh yea love the volleyball community! It's definitely been crucial to finding friends during this whole cross country move thing!
DeleteOk I never played volleyball and I feel like I'm at a huge disadvantage. I grew up playing soccer and have zero hand-eye coordination, but everywhere I go people whip out a volleyball and I am so terrible! If I ever have kids they will grow up playing volleyball so they can be more social hahah
ReplyDeleteHaha. It's ok I never played soccer and so I have zero foot coordination, and social soccer games are super common too!
DeleteI loved playing soccer, because of the team aspect of it. Unfortunately, I don't play anymore, but it's still my absolute favorite. I actually never thought of volleyball as a sport with longevity, but how cool that they have a 65+ league to join! Wonder if I could start playing when I'm that age;)
ReplyDelete~Bre
Yea team sports are the best! It's definitely never too late to learn something new :) I just learned to swim two years ago!
DeleteHi Amanda! I don't really actually play any sports but I enjoy a variety of workouts - like kickboxing, step aerobics and yoga - also Hiit workouts. I have never played volleyball on an actual team but have played in family settings and it is a lot of fun. One time several years ago I played so much with my kids and nieces and nephews my wrist and inner arm hurt. That is great that you still play.
ReplyDeleteOoh yea I love group fitness classes too! Cardio kickboxing was my favorite! Haven't done it in forever since I don't have a gym membership anymore though.
DeleteI'm always a little jealous of people who are having fun playing volleyball on the beach :) I love fitness in general but if I had to go with a "sport" I'd say tennis. I haven't played in ages, but when I did I really liked it! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteOoh I like tennis! It's probably my worst net sport though :( You'll have to give me some lessons someday!
DeleteDid you see all of the volleyball players on our linkup this week? I'm at awe of you guys because I've always wanted to learn how to play it. #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteYes I love that more volleyball players are joining! So great!
DeleteTo maintain a healthy and fit life you should play game. Volleyball is the interesting indoor games that play on the grass, on the beach. This game makes us both physically and mentally active or playing volleyball increases the energy level. As these games are played as a team so it increases the social interaction. We can say volleyball game is the exercise of hand and eye so it increases the coordination of hand and eye. Playing a volleyball will motivate us how to success in your life and the teamwork will teaches the value of hard work.
