I didn’t create this record but I think I’m the first to successfully break it. The record is for the Most volleyball touches with alternate wrists in one minute.

The minimum mark Guinness set was only 60 but I wasn’t going to be happy just breaking this record, I wanted to practice it to actually make it hard to beat. It was surprisingly tricky to get the hits to be consistent enough to even finish an entire minute of hits without losing control of the ball. I thought the record was going to be cake but after trying it several times I actually gave up on it for a couple of years and moved on to other things.

I decided to come back to it with a growth mindset and practice with a vengeance, finally finishing a full minute of hits with almost 200 hits to working on speed and control and getting it over 200, over 300, over 400 where I thought I would like to land but then finally extended the mark to over 500 in one minute breaking the record at a local sport and art camp my son was attending. The official mark was 515 hits in one minute.
