Best Journal Prompts for Young Female Volleyball Players

Being a young female athlete is no joke. Between school, club, high school sports, and just trying to live life, you’ve got a lot going on. Sometimes, the best way to process it all is to write it down.

Journaling is more than just venting. It helps you stay focused, track progress, boost confidence, and check in with yourself mentally. Whether you journal every night or just when things feel chaotic, these prompts are here to support you.


Confidence + Mindset Prompts

  • What’s one thing I’m proud of myself for this week, on or off the court?

  • What’s something I used to struggle with that I’ve improved at?

  • What do I bring to my team that makes me valuable (skills, attitude, leadership)?

  • What’s one negative thought I’ve been having lately? How can I reframe it into something empowering?

  • Write a letter to your younger self, reminding her of how far you’ve come.

  • What does "mental toughness" mean to me, and how can I practice it daily?

Performance + Volleyball Growth Prompts

  • What did I learn at practice this week—about the game and myself?

  • How did I handle mistakes in my last game, and how can I improve my response next time?

  • What’s one small goal I can set for next practice or match?

  • Who inspires me in volleyball, and why?

  • What does being a great teammate mean to me?

  • How do I want to show up when things get tough in a game?

Balance: School, Sports & Life Prompts

  • What’s one thing I can do this week to stay organized with school and sports?

  • How do I feel when I’m overwhelmed? What helps me reset and refocus?

  • List 3 things that help me stay grounded when everything feels chaotic.

  • What boundaries do I need to set to protect my energy (social media, people, perfectionism)?

  • What’s one fun, non-sport thing I want to make time for this week?

  • How do I recharge outside of volleyball and school?


Self-Love + Identity Prompts

  • Who am I outside of volleyball? What else do I love about myself?

  • What makes me feel strong, beautiful, and confident—even on hard days?

  • If my best friend was feeling down, what would I say to her? (Now say it to yourself)

  • What does success mean to me—not what others expect?

  • What am I grateful for today?

Make It a Habit

Even just 5 minutes a day can help you clear your head and refocus your mindset. Keep a journal in your volleyball bag, by your bed, or in your locker—and use these prompts whenever you need a reset.

Journaling isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real with yourself.
