Once upon a time, I was playing volleyball professionally in Italy in the 90s, and I decided to ask female players who were my teammates, friends and coaches to write their own volleyball stories about the greatest personal obstacles  they had to overcome as teens or young female adults in club, high school or even college.

I asked them to describe how that particular obstacle helped or motivated or inspired them to become the professional players or Olympic players they had become.

Here is a list of questions these female players chose to answer and share in their volleyball stories:

  • Did the obstacle help you grow emotionally? If so, how?
  • How did it motivate you (or not?)
  • How did it make you stronger (or not?)
  • What did overcoming that obstacle make you realize about yourself?

The players chose one of the following topics that they  personally experienced and described it in their volleyball stories:

Were you ever told you were too tall or too short to play volleyball?
