You need to understand physics

Helpful Volleyball Tip #92: Before spiking a ball to the ground in frustration, move your face away from the direction of the rebound.


Oh, please tell me you did this.


Sorry...can't do that. I was an innocent bystander who just happened to have a front-row seat for this lesson-well-learned. Another purely hypothetical player (For Blag purposes, let's call her "Cristin") attempted to throw a ball to the ground in frustration. This is all well and good...not to mention not entirely uncommon. However, "Cristin" misjudged the angle of her throw, causing the ball to bounce back forcefully and hit her in the face.

Now, some people might be concerned for her well-being, but since we're talking about a squishy air-filled volleyball and not a rock or anything, everyone in the gym who bore witness to this purely hypothetical event busted out laughing at "Cristin"'s misfortune. A whimsical time was had by all.
