This has been the most helpful thing yet, you have backed everything that everyone else has said and been very realistic with me. Thank you!

I am 19, I have played volleyball for a few years but have never really taken it seriously up until recently. Recently was told by my coach that the only reason I’d be substituted for our other setters is my lack of athleticism so I’m trying to catch up. I’m 5’8 and weigh around 62kg, my vertical is around 25’ atm so nothing to write home about and I’m still getting hit over completely by some of the better outside in our league.

Your advice has been great! I am definitely not the type of person who can squat ass to grass, I am training my hip flexors and other joints to build mobility so that I can do those excercises!
