(1) UNSHAKABLE PASSION FOR THE GAME
A CVC player is deeply in love with volleyball – not just playing, but learning, training, and mastering the details. They bring energy, intensity, and focus to every session because the game itself fuels them.
(2) NEVER SATISFIED, ALWAYS IMPROVING
They believe there is always more to give, another level to reach, and a better version of themselves to uncover. Wins and losses both serve as fuel because progress matters more than results. They understand that with progress, results will naturally follow. A CVC athlete trusts the process, commits to the long-term journey, and knows that growth is built over time. They don’t make excuses or point fingers – they look inward with honesty, and take ownership of their development and performance.
(3) OBSESSED WITH THE CRAFT
They see volleyball as more than a sport; it is a craft to be refined daily. Repetition is not a chore, but the heart beat of improvement. They want every rep sharper, cleaner, and faster than the last. Each rep carries purpose – valuing the small details that they know compound over time and that lead to big results.
(4) DISCIPLINED OVER MOTIVATED
They understand motivation comes and goes, but discipline is what sustains progress. Whether they feel like it or not, they show up, they train, and they deliver – because consistency is what separates average from elite. They build habits so strong that they can perform at an elite level on their toughest day, even when facing an opponent at their best.
(5) SELFLESS AND TEAM-FIRST
They measure success not only by personal improvement but by the strength of the team around them. They lift teammates, reinforce standards, and lead through action and accountability to help the entire squad succeed. A CVC player never hides behind excuses or blames others – they take ownership, contribute to solutions, and keep the collective goal above individual recognition.
(6) COMPETITIVE, RELENTLESS, AND RESILIENT
They strive to win, but not through shortcuts. They embrace hard work, welcome pressure, and enjoy a challenge, seeing each as an opportunity to grow tougher, smarter, and stronger.
(7) MENTALLY TOUGH AND REFLECTIVE
Setbacks don’t break a CVC athlete – they shape them. They handle adversity with composure, viewing setbacks as lessons rather than failures. They constantly evaluate their performance with honesty and humility, always searching for and working on the edge that will make them better.
(8) DETAIL-ORIENTED AND COACHABLE
A CVC player listens closely and with intent, stays curious, and asks thoughtful questions to learn deeply without arrogance or attitude. They see coaching as a privilege, respect the experience of those guiding them, and apply feedback immediately. They know that greatness lives in the smallest details – footwork, timing, communication – and they pursue mastery of every skill, with every rep.
