Everyone received a note in their egg that said "Shhhh Cam is getting put on scholarship" while Cam got a note that said "See Audra for a surprise".

For your next practice, try to adopt some of these good habits.
Be the junior varsity volleyball player that comes early and leaves late for practice.
For my high school girls volleyball practice I use to come to my school gym one half hour before practice started and I'd lay in the middle of the gym to just visualize that the court was mine.
I'd imagine each serve receive, each serve each pass that I wanted to perform. I convinced myself that anything that happened on that court, any ball that came on my side I was going to be responsible for it.

I also came early or stayed late to practice serving skills and to perform individual wall drills for setting and passing as well.

Be the junior varsity volleyball girl that goes after every ball in defense.
To become that girls varsity volleyball player that leads the team you'll first have to decide that no ball that you can get to with three or four steps will fall around you or in your immediate area.
You will need to take pride in making an aggressive attempt to dig any and every ball in your immediate area up so your volleyball team has another chance to play the ball for a point or side out.
You may not get it the first time.
You may not get the ball up the second time.
But you'll get closer and closer each time and most importantly your volleyball coach should start noticing your effort.
Where do you need to go now? Here are three options:
