***Even though our School Volleyball Season is over, Shuswap Middle School Athletics offers an In-House Volleyball Club Program for our Gr. 6-7-8 Girls and Boys … Our Shuswap Middle School Volleyball Club offers training, practice, and game sessions two mornings per week and two lunch hours per week. For years now, our athletes at SMS have taken advantage of AM Open Gym Opportunities and those who have “Showed Up” have improved their skills and done well. Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 Hour Rule comes into play here… If one wants to get better at anything and perform at a high level, then one needs to put the hours into their craft. As we teach in our Basketball and Volleyball Programs at SMS… “If you want to create Magic, they you need to put in the time to do the work in order to develop the skills, that produces the Magic/results. Oh … By-the-way… Our Volleyball Club Program that we offer is “Free” … It’s a good deal!

Volleyball Club Days and Times: Tuesday and Thursday Mornings (AM Open Gym) 7AM to 8:10AM … and Tuesday and Thursday Lunch Hours (Activity Time) 3on3 Volleyball. 

Reminder… 5 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness and Resiliency …

1. Get up Early… when the alarm goes off, don’t hit the snooze … get out of bed…

2. Make Your Bed as a Habit… as soon as you get up make your bed - perfectly! 

3. Do Work… Attend AM Open Gym or if not, do push-ups, sit-ups, etc…

4. When the School Day is Over… Study First … If you have early Bball Practice, then study after practice… If you have late Bball Practice, then stay at school, attend Study Hall and Do Your Work… Read, Re-Read, Write, Re-Write, Review - That’s what homework is… 

5. Eat Something You Don’t Like Regularly… as a Habit… Mr. Smith doesn’t let tomatoes be tougher than him… He still doesn’t like tomatoes, but he eats them anyway… 

Why do all the things above … because they are usually the last things you want to do… Do the things that you don’t want to do, but are good for you, and make them a part of your Daily Habits… That’s how one Develops Mental Toughness.
