Carson High School Volleyball Season Preview

As the new volleyball season approaches, fans and supporters are eagerly awaiting the return of the Carson High School team. Led by Coach Tyler Sompa, the team is set to take on their competition with some of the top returning players from last season and a promising lineup of new players. The team's success last season was due in large part to the top returning players from last year, including Justine Sapitanan, Jordyn Garlitos, Natasha Napoleon, Kameron Charles, and Korynthia Foisia. They possess the qualities that Coach Sompa looks for in his players – a combination of drive, hard work, and leadership. These returning players are not only talented on the court, but they also have a strong belief in their team and set high goals for themselves. In addition to the returning players, Coach Sompa also has high expectations for the new players on the team. He believes that they will make an immediate impact with their skills and determination. He also emphasizes the importance of team chemistry and camaraderie, stating that communication, grit, and willingness to help one another are essential for a successful season. To motivate his players to push themselves to their full potential, Coach Sompa stresses the importance of getting to know one another both on and off the court. By understanding each other's motivations and personalities, the team can come together and support each other. The coach also puts an emphasis on team bonding and social activities to enhance team dynamics. However, there have been challenges in preparing for this season, including coordinating schedules with players who were away for club nationals and vacations. But despite these difficulties, the team has been working hard every day to improve their skills and bond as a team. Looking at the team's schedule for the upcoming season, Coach Sompa believes that it will provide a great opportunity for the team to showcase their skills. They will be facing tough opponents from both the southern and city sections, including schools like Bishop and Marshall. These matches will challenge the team and help them discover their strengths and areas for improvement. Coach Sompa's coaching style may differ from previous seasons, as he always aims to adjust and cater to the strengths and personalities of his athletes. He also emphasizes the importance of the mental aspect of the game and instills in his players the mindset that mistakes are a natural part of growth and development. One of the new additions to the team's training and conditioning program is an increased focus on the mental aspect of the game.
