Saw this on the mens board and wondered what everyone else thinks
(This is also assuming your OH and Opp play six rotations)

After a lot of thought, I'd have to go with six rotation middle, who jump serves and isn't a liability in receive.

You would need to define hardest. Hardest in terms of skill, physical requirements, etc.

This question hurts my head with how broad it is. I will say some positions are becoming exclusive at the top (big terminal passing OH's are hard to find/hard to become)

At the peak of this sport... Middle is the most physically demanding. Setter is the hardest to perfect and get to the highest of levels. Outside is the most stressful position due to their responsibilities.
So whatever you define as hardest.

As with most endeavors, how difficult it is mostly depends on how good you're planning to be.

Middle is a track meet, most libero's will gladly pass a ball of their face if it helps the team win, setters are weird people, Right side is boring, and everything gets blamed on OH's. So based on that I will say Libero. Until I see a setter dump with her chin, or a middle hits a slide with their forehead.

Nothing would tear my hair out more than performing the duties associated with the Director of Volleyball Operations. Reservations for hotel, car rentals, flights. Coordinating minutiae with other DOVOs to make sure the match takes place. Food crap. Gear crap. Oy vey...

IMO 6 rotation outside hitter. Responsible for passing, digging, serving, blocking, attacking from the front and back row with a lot of garbage out of system sets with a double block. Not only mentally they have to stay focused through out the game but physically have to hang in there while taking a large portion of the teams swings.

You don't think other backrow players try to do the same thing to pass or dig? |

I voted OH, but I'm maybe thinking setter. The US hasn't produced anyone close to the ability of Misty May. Sure her all around skills are one in a generation, but why are the current setters so easy to read? There's no deception.

I think Middle is the hardest. Fight On! your thoughts on this? |

I just think the question contains a logical fallacy. Every position is hard to do well. Match by match a particular situation may make it easier and harder on a player in a position.
An OH who prefers to hit line and is lined up against Lutz/Fitz may have it harder in one match, but when she is lined up against a short 5-1 setter and slow MB in the next match would have it easier.
