College volleyball setters run the show on their prospective teams.
I asked Aubree Smith, Rachel Vukson and Katelyn Steffan three top setters in volleyball to answer my interview questions about how athletes live learn and excel in Division I.
Meet Aubree Smith one of the top college volleyball setters in the A-10 conference.
Improve Your Volleyball: What makes you special?
I can clap with one hand and make a three leave clover with my tongue.
I don't like new kneepads, I can't play in them. My favorite are when they are broken in and worn down a little.
Improve Your Volleyball: What accessories and/or equipment help you play your best?
I always listen to 'Whats Happenin' by the Ying Yang Twins before every game and I have to have Kathryn Traut tie my ribbon in my hair.

Not a lot of girls have a height advantage on me.

I wear a hair tie on my left shoe. I always play with it there. That way, if one of my teammates or I need it, I'm always prepared.

I always have to chew gum during warmups, but never during the game.

I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.
Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.
If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
