| I see this all the time.
During warm-up, some players are absolutely killing the ball 💣 Three-meter line. Full power. Bombs. Everyone notices 👀
And yet… by the end of the match, those same players are almost never MVP.
That’s not a coincidence.
Warm-up mindset vs. match mindset 🧠
In warm-up, the setting in your head is simple:
-
hit hard
-
feel good
-
impress 😎
There is no consequence.
But matches don’t reward the hardest swing. They reward decisions.
Why these hitters disappear ❌
Most of them don’t lose power — they lose clarity.
They:
By set 2 or 3, they’re predictable, late, or frustrated.
MVP hitters play a different game 🏆
If you want to be MVP of the match, you need a different setting in your mind.
MVP hitters think:
-
What information did the block just give me?
-
What shot keeps pressure, even without full power?
-
How do I stay useful on every ball?
They don’t chase highlights ✨ They control the match 🎮
One simple rule ✅
Your first few attacks are not for ego. They are for reading the game.
Power comes later. Impact comes first.
🚀 Coming soon: I’m close to finish a new course for hitters who don’t just want to hit hard — but want to be MVPs, the players who decide matches.
More soon 👊
