Thinking outside the box

Growing up on a farm I learned very quickly how to be innovative. We had 68 acres of fence and a small herd of cows that tried and tested every day to see if they could escape. They would always pick a rainy, cold, or blistering hot day to break the fence. Most times my Dad or Pop (my grandfather) weren’t around to put them back in the fence or fix the fence. Yes, it seemed like the cows always knew the worst time get out and took full advantage of it! My mom, sister, and I would have to round the herd up and fix the fence. Sometimes we didn’t have the tools to fix it properly (not that we didn’t have them… just had no idea where the tools were). Even without the right tools the fence had to be fixed and quickly. Innovation took over and that fence got fixed. Sometimes we had to just use a hammer and nails to pin the fence back up and sometimes we had to think outside the box to fix it. Sometimes this happens in volleyball. Maybe you don’t have the height that most people think you should have to be a middle or outside. That shouldn’t hold you back from being the best you can be hitter you can be. Think out of the box. Figure out a way to get in the air and hit the ball. Know your strengths and play to them. Just like the cows and the fence, the other teams and players will try to test your weaknesses. You have to be ready to fix the problem and score! Go out and be the best you can be. Be innovative and take control of your destiny.
