Okay, so I wanted to really understand where volleyball came from, you know, like, get the full story. So I dove in!
Digging into the Past
First, I started with the basics. Just simple Google searches, you know? “History of volleyball,” “who invented volleyball,” that kind of stuff. I found a bunch of websites, some looking more legit than others. Wikipedia was a good starting point, gave me a general overview.
- I learned the basics there
- Name: William G. Morgan
- place: Holyoke, Massachusetts
- Time: 1895
Then, I tried to get a bit deeper. I looked for articles from, like, sports history websites or educational places. I figured those would be more reliable than some random blog, right?
It was kinda cool! I found out that this guy, William G. Morgan, created volleyball as a less intense alternative to basketball. I read about how he originally called it “mintonette.”
I felt really insteresting about this game.
Putting it All Together
After I gathered a bunch of info, I started making notes. I used a simple text editor and just jotted down the key facts, dates, and names. I wanted to keep it organized so I could, like, actually remember it all.
I also saved links to the websites I found most helpful. You know, just in case I needed to double-check something later or wanted to show someone else where I got my info.
Finally, I tried to piece it all together into a timeline. I thought that would be the easiest way to see how volleyball evolved over time. From this “mintonette” thing to the Olympic sport it is today, it’s a pretty wild ride!
