A long weekend of volleyball...

...and I'm still walking, somehow :) On friday we played three D1 schools, taking 2 sets throughout the day. It was a lot better than I expected and if was good to see that level of performance from the girls. They have all made their strides during the spring season, and with so much talent coming in next year I am hopeful for their success.

On saturday we played a handful of D2 schools, and a few other levels. We didn't play as well as I had hoped but we finished well, and it was my last college competition so there was a bittersweetness to it. My coach got a little emotional and said she would miss me, I wasn't expecting that since my "formal" goodbye from the team was on senior night. But it was an interesting time to say the least.

With the tournament over on saturday, a lot of the girls were preparing to head back with their parents or head to columbia, sc for the night to participate in the clash coeds grass volleyball tournament. My assistant coach had asked me if I was playing and I informed him that I had been busy and didn't think of playing, and also that nobody asked me to play so I didn't bother. We have always had a tournament the weekend of the clash and were never really able to participate. He then asked if I wanted to play with him and at first I wasn't sure since I had played already 2 full days in a row of over 10 games, but eventually I got a little excited and decided to play :) We had a blast and made it to the playoffs but lost in the first round. We were up and down since we both had barely any experience in outdoor. But like I said we had fun and that made it worth it.

So now college ball is OFFICIALLY done, and my next step is continuing to play at the next level! I'm so excited for this summer in Turkey, but at the same time I'm nervous. But it's the same feeling I had in my gut when I was heading to college clueless of how I measured to the competition, and although there was a lot of work to be done I kept my head straight on the goal and I met it. My dad reminded me of this determination yesterday, and now I'm focusing on it in the same way to carry me forward!

Iyi aksamlar.
