this past weekend was my first volleyball tournament with my team. it was very tiring and i was worn out by the time we got home last night. we had a good time with lucas and aliya and we thank them again for letting us stay the night. but the tournament was crazy. we were not prepared at all. i have 8 girls on my team and only 2 of them have ever played club. NONE of them have ever played at the varsity level. so our first game was ugly, very ugly. my poor girls got beaten down physically and mentally and were ready to give up. they didn't realize that these teams we were playing had probably been playing together since they were 12! so the first day of pool play I don't think we scored past 10 except in one game. there's still so much these girls need to learn. and the first thing is how to be competitive. i hate when girls pout and sull up during a game. so childish! i've been pretty nice so far, but i'm afraid after this week, they won't like me much! but i'm tired of them being babies out on the court. i'm here to make them better, right?
we play again this weekend, again in dallas somewhere! i hope to have a better report after this one.
