I hurt my knee when I was in high school, but continued to play sports because the provincials were coming and I didn't want to miss them. I have been paying for that decision ever since and I knew better because my doctor told me not to play. Please go see a medical professional before you cheer again. You could do some damage that could affect you for the rest of your life. Trust me it's not worth it.

as a freshman i totally understand where you are coming from, i've got swimming tryouts this week and we'll see what happens i guess. but back to you: okay sounds like you've just got nervous jitters. all that you need to do is practice. that and endurance running b/c i've never played basketball but i know enough to know that it's just one long game of suicide. just do some extra endurance training, train the way you've been training and just do your best because that's all that you can do. best of luck to you with basketball and i hope that you make the team!!

As a coach, I love it during tryouts when players do as they are instructed.   So PAY ATTENTION.   I also love it when players hustle to and from water breaks.   If they tell you to call the ball (mine!!!!) make sure you say it loudly - volleyball is all about communication and whispering doesnt' cut it!   Be happy to be there - don't chit chat with friends while waiting in line - be on time.......HAVE FUN!

Sounds to me like you jarred the knee.\nIt can happen from an impact like jumping in BB. If you are lucky its only a jarred knee which will take a few days to sort itself out. It could be ligament damage but thats unlikely as you would be in severe pain constantly and would know straight away. Try getting a crep (sorry i dont know the spelling, but basically its a tight elastic material) bandage and leave it on it for support when your are moving around.\nOther then that, ice it for a while to make sre there is no internal bleeding, then apply a heat pack to it every half an hour for 10 mins and see if that sorts it out.\nYou should go to see a sports doctor or a physio either way, an ordinary GP will just refer you to a specialist if he does not solve it.

Check you right elbow on your downswing. You could be bringing it closer to your body causing you to open the club face. I developed a simular slice a few years ago and a shoulder problem was causing me to bring my right elbow in, causing the slice. My shoulder muscles was not keeping the ball in the socket properly.\n\nA simple exercise of using a 1lb can of Veggies solved the shoulder problem. I would bend forward at the waist and extend my right arm down. Then raise the can until it was almost under my armpit.\n\nAfter solving the shoulder problem the club pro helped me stop the habit of drawing my elbow in. That low slice went away. I still slice the ball at times, but they now have some nice loft.

once you're in your handstand position upside down (the middle of your back handspring) snap your feet to the ground but not squished, stretch your body out a little. make sure you're hollow when you come up. Good luck!

I have no idea what joint you are referring to but you likely pinched a nerve. Don't push it as you will just make it worse.  The stiffening is the muscle tightening because the nerve is injured.  You shouldn't do anything until it's 100 percent better.  It's very easy to injure yourself when you are being athletic so don't forget to do warm ups etc.  All the things you do now will come back to haunt your body later...TRUST ME on that one.

Most important - and most overlooked - technique in spiking is your spike approach. The volleyball spike approach is identical in function to a baseball pitcher's wind-up. Unfortunately for us, we don't have the luxury of a pitcher's mound, and a pitching rubber on which we can push off. We need to oriented our hips and shoulders while in the air. How do we do that? A lot of what happens in the air comes from what we do on the ground during the spike approach.\n\n     If you are right handed, your last three steps should be left-right-left, with the last two, the right-left, being more like a step-close than two distinct steps, in which you "close" the left foot very near the right, so your toes are nearly touching, but not too close. \n\n     The last right step (before the left-close) should be much, much larger than the preceding left, or the succeeding left-close. The last right step is like a hop, or a leap, where you start to generate horizontal momentum. \n\n     When you land the last two steps, you should land on your heals, and then rock from your heals to your toes. The heal-toe action will re-direct your horizontal momentum to vertical jump.\n\n     If you are right handed, it is very important for you to jump with your left foot slightly in front of your right, but only slightly. The toes should be near each other.\n\n     By putting your left foot is in front of your right foot, you will setup the rest of your body for a good spike. This will put your left hip in front of your right, and your left shoulder in front of your right. \n\n     When you jump, you should reach-up with your both your arms, but upon reaching your apex, let your right arm and shoulder drop behind, and lower than your left. This will enable a full swing at the ball. \n\n     At the height of your jump, your left shoulder should be above and in front of your right. The same goes for your left hip.\n\n     At the conclusion of your swing, your right shoulder should switch positions with your left, and the same goes for your hips.\n\n     It is the spike approach that setups your hips in shoulders to be in the correct place at the start of your swing.\n\n     Of course, lefties must reverse the above instructions.

Not sure exactly what, and there may well be a link: you might have strained a muscle: it's usu recommended you warm up before you start: stamina/endurance /general training.\nI'd assume your posture has something to do with it.\nRalgex-or something of that ilk-is pretty good in the meantime, plus plenty of rest.

Your shoulder joint is held in capsule that is not completely sealed, that is that it is sealed by muscle, ligaments and and an articular capsule made of cartilage, however it is not completely sealed which is good so that it can move more freely, but it can also make the shoulder easy to pop out of its socket.  That popping sound in your shoulder is probably the whole shoulder joint capsule making contact with another bone in the shoulder joint area, like I said it the joint is not completely smooth and when you work out a movement might possibly put enough stress on the joint capsule to come in contact with another bone in the area creating that "pop" until it returns to its normal position

Alright..first you need to address the problem. What's wrong with your serve??\nIf it makes it to the net but not over, then your toss probably isn't high enough or your not putting enough power into it. If it's just going crazy, then try hitting it differently(if you hit open hand try closed, if you hit closed try open) Personally I would reccommend serving open hand. One thing that is really important is that you make sure you have enough power. Try lifting wieghts or doing push ups(ick I know) Other than that just make sure you follow through with your form and stuff. Make sure your hand is back, you have the right foot forward, and then just toss, step, swing. If you let me know more details I may be able to help more. Just remember the basics, and practice makes perfect. Good Luck!!!

I would assume by your screen name and your problem, that you are a woman. This is a common problem with women because our wrists just aren't as strong as mens. This is something men just don't understand because they don't have the problem! No offense. It's just us girls still are weaker. I struggled with throwing a backup ball for quite some time, but finally rid myself of it. Now I throw a powerful hook and average 185+. I would strongly suggest you working out of that backup and working into a straight ball or a slight curve. The biggest thing you need to remember is to keep your wrist straight. Everytime you release the ball, bring your arm up, as if you were reaching out to shake hands with the pins. This is the proper release. You might want to wear a brace to help keep your arm & wrist straight, but I don't like to push it because they are too easy to become dependant upon. \n\nGood luck and many strikes to you!
