It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.-- Sir Edmund Hillary
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.Many of these volleyball quotes and volleyball sayings are by those who love and play the game. Others are from those who like the sport and can relate to their deeper meaning.
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication just like any pro sport. Especially for beach volleyball you don't have to be tall or as fast as other sports. You just have to have the skills.
Anyone serious about playing indoor, you should play outdoor.
I grew up on the beach and played side-out scoring all my life, but rally scoring is better for our sport. There is pressure on every play. You can't make a mistake, but that also means your opponent can't make a mistake. It makes the matches more exciting to watch.
We practice every day, either doing team stuff or working out as an individual. In the offseason we work out with weights, just trying to get stronger.
We don't have a World Series or a Super Bowl, so to be able to come home with a gold medal is amazing. I want to do it again in four more years.
It was unbelievable. It was so great to work like that and be able to pull it out at the very end. We played so well together, helping each other out at just the right time. We never gave up and it all worked out better than we could have hoped for against such great opposition. We were in one of the toughest matches I've ever played.
You touch every other ball and, if you screw up, you only have one more person to back you up. You can't go hide in the corner.
