So I’m coaching the junior boys’ volleyball team at my high school this year. The athletes look fantastic, and picking the team is proving difficult.
One thing I like to do is see how they react to weirdness, and distraction. I get them to serve, one at a time, and we do penalties for each one missed (like push-ups or “burpees”). Next, they serve again, but I stop each kid before their serve and ask a question, just to throw their rhythm. Here is a list of some of the questions, and the actual answers I got. Let me stress, too, that every single answer was stated as a question, or better put, as a guess.
Q: What is the capital of Canada?
A: Quebec?
Q: What’s eighty-one minus thirty-seven?
A: Like, sixty-something?
Q: What’s the capital of Nova Scotia?
A: Manitoba?
I asked this next one as a joke, but the answer was given with dead seriousness.
Q: How many wheels are there on an 18-wheeler?
A: Uh, four?
However, this question was answered before I could even finish it:
Q: Who founded Micros–
A: Bill Gates.
Did I mention they’re great athletes?
