In volleyball, ‘rhythm’ is commonly used to refer to a player’s comfort with certain situations.

To ‘disrupt a player’s rhythm’ means to put them in a situation that makes other parts of their game more difficult (like limiting their ability to attack after passing in a compromising position) or force a poor-quality skill execution (like a bad pass).

In volleyball, the libero is a player who only plays in the back row. They are the team’s primary passer (often the most skilled passer), and generally replaces the team’s middle throughout their back-row rotations. The libero wears a different color jersey than the rest of their team.
