Answer by Elynn Lee, a setter since age 12, a back-up DS/Libero, and someone who has played volleyball since age 7, on Quora:
Playing volleyball teaches you a number of lessons that are applicable to life both on and off the court. Volleyball is an amazing game with lots of little subtleties to it that make it really enjoyable to watch, especially once you know what’s going on. I’ve played volleyball almost my whole life, and still play every week. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot from the game and my teammates.
