The other day was my first official practice with the National Team. The date for the National Team has been set for sometime in the beginning of July, whenever that may be! We must start practicing, we must start training!
As I was playing with my new teammates, I could help but smile, smile at all of the memories of the past volleyball seasons. The days of Marshmallow Knee Pads, Long Sleeve Jerseys, Pretzels and Gatorade, Come backs you could only have during Side-Out Scoring, taking out tables, vans rides across the States, and endless inside jokes! Those are the moments I lived for while playing and I can see more memories developing with the groups of women I am playing with!
One of my Middles and Power Hitter has so much personality and passion it is contagious. She sassy and confident but will pick you up if you are done. She is a fighter and competitive as she shouted “We DON’T Lose!”
It will be an interesting Volleyball Season and we learn how each other play, find the flow, and get use to each other. We will learn each other voices, how each other plays, and what to do when one gets vex! It will take time but it will be an amazing journey!
To all that believed in me, supported me, and pushed me to be a better volleyball player, I say Thank You! I have found one of my passions and it makes me feel alive!
