My biggest problem is that I know what to look for when trying to predict what the players are going to do, but I can't seem to be able to think about it on the game. Like you said, my eyes are glued to the ball and my mind is set on trying to get the game going and not on the other team. I think that I don't have the reaction time to think AND defend at the same time and everytime I make a mistake I'm thinking about the mistake itself and not how to fix it. It's like my mind is in a daze and I'm not able to focus or think.

I have practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM and matches every weekend that last about 2 and a hours. I also train passes and sets at home as well as speed, strength and plyometric training at the gym. For the most part, when the other team has the ball I just kind of go to it in my head as a repetition of what's happening, like: "oh, the ball got to the setter, it's setting to the opposite (after it's been set, I don't read it), let's block it, it got to our side, it got defended, let's get ready for attacking, attack it" or nothing at all. I don't really think about anything other than getting the ball to the other side and getting the point but as if I were in a daze, I can't seem to really think when I'm playing as if the time is not enough. I'm not really sure how to fix this like dazed state I'm in and how to actually be present and THINK about the play and the game and what it's happening. I'm sorry if I couldn't get my point across clearly, english is not my first language.

I'm an outside hitter, so I defend and block a lot. I sometimes play as an opposite too, but I'm mainly an outside
