My major issue (re beach volleyball!) is that i love the game... but the attitudes that many players have while they are playing are flat out wrong, embarrassing and...did i say WRONG!
Off the court, most of the players who have bad attitudes are truly decent and fun people - on the court they are less than human - much less!
Why?
Since i used to be one of 'them' (just ask my partners when i first started to play) and am a self appointed human behavior expert... their challenge (and mine) is that they really don't know how to consistently play or how to teach themselves how to consistently play.
(BUT they think they know what to do and are happy to tell you what you should be doing)...
These players are frustrated in a BIG, BIG way and therefore turn into complete ass -h**#s when they attempt to serve, pass, dig, block, set and hit.
All they need to do is learn how to learn how to consistently do the skills that they think they should be able to do. Then the frustration level decreases and "they" actually start functioning as a decent human being on AND off the sand.
What do you think?

Be Your VERY Best
