Ok, so today I had gym, and I was really excited, because we are doing volleyball, and I play , so I was reallly excited because I stink in just about everything else in gym. We learned serving today, and I've been playing for about a year, but I still cna't overhand serve. My gym teacher knows that I play, so she asked me to demonstrate an overhand, and I said that I couldn't, and she looked at me quizically and said, "You can't overhand serve?" and raised her eyebrow and said it kinda sarcarstically. I know that I can't overhand, and I've been working on it for FOREVER and I stil can't seem to get it right, even though I've been playing for a year. I felt really humiliated in gym, because everyone was watching me because they were like, expecting me to be good because I play, but I just made my 1st overhand over today (ever), and the rest of the time, I just made really lame attempts .I feel really humiliated, especially with my teacher's comment. What should I do?

 

I think you're stressing and psyching yourself out.  I'm sure you can do it, clearly, since you pulled it off today.  I play sometimes as a hobby and I used to have just as much trouble with it.  All it takes is practice.  I used to hit it with the wrong part of my hand or my arm wouldn't be stiff enough, and the ball just went into the net.  It's all about the technique, which comes hand in hand with practice.  Is there any way you could pull aside your coach or your gym teacher and have them help you out for a couple minutes?  At the very least they could help you identify what it is you're doing wrong.
