Delaware field hockey, volleyball players share top lessons, coach speak

There is a lot to take away from participating in team sports beyond a trophy or medal at the end of a competition.

So, at Delaware Online High School Sports Media Days Aug. 11-12 at Woodbridge High and Abessinio Stadium, we asked the top field hockey and girls volleyball players in the state to share the biggest lessons they have learned so far from their high school athletic careers.

"Figuring out how to communicate and get your point across as a leader to all different types of people," said Newark Charter's Victoria Weller. "How they learn best. How they take criticism best. Figuring out how to accomplish a team goal."

"The best lesson I've learned from playing team sports is how to work with everyone and understand how to meet people where they are," said Sussex Central's Julianne Bounds. "Bring people up when they need to be brought up and then also be that encouragement for people."

More responses to that prompt and other questions posed at media days can be found in the videos in this story.
