8am Practices?!

Volleyball is my first love. I play on he Women's Volleyball team here at SCSU. I have only been playing this sport for 4 years going on 5 and i I absolutely love it. Even though everywhere I go on campus I get the same question, "You play ball?" or "You run track?". No one ever suspects me to be a volleyball player which I don't mind. I love seeing the reaction. 

People think playing a sport in college is the same as high school but its a lot more work. Especially when you are a freshmen. There's a lot to learn. My teammates are very patient with me which I am thankful for. I guess they just think back to when they were a freshmen and feel sorry for me. 

Practices are tough. No AC just a big fan blowing in the corner. I am use to it now. A lot of people don't think too highly of Pelz gymnasium. Fortunately  during the summer they repainted the walls and out in new bleachers. It looks a lot better. I know, I know you must be asking why we don't play in the field house. Well gather around I have a story to tell. In 2007 the Women's basketball time when the title. As a gift they we're given a brand new basketball floor BUT the coach didn't want to put volleyball holes in it. So we can not place our poles there hence we can't play there. 

I love all the positives and the negatives. I just deal with it. It's just something i can add to my big collage. I actually only had one complaint the two-a-day practice. Try four days of those and then tell me Volleyball isn'y a tough sport.
