Mason Club Volleyball

     After two open gyms and two tryouts, I made the Mason Club Volleyball Team. Ever since COVID started and I haven't been able to play volleyball on an actual team, it has defiantly been my missing puzzle piece. When I found out that Mason had a volleyball team, I knew I had to tryout. Alright, look, I was kind of cocky going into this tryout because I believe I'm pretty good, so I wasn't so worried. I walk in the first day, and there's like 30 girls. For volleyball. Thats a huge number for a sport that only allows six players on the court at a time. The level of volleyball was overall really good for an open gym, I was impressed. As the numbers trickle down to the final cut, that's when I started to ger nervous. I mean, I'm not that tall, and I haven't played in 2 years, but the edge I had over a lot of the girls, is that I've been coaching almost full-time for the past two years. Something you should know about me; I listen to my inner voice. As I was hustling for every ball and trying to keep my breath normal, my inner monologue was going over all the correction I've given my players as a coach. Not to toot my own horn, but I am pretty good coach, and it showed in this tryout. I have never played better than how I did on the final day of tryouts. In conclusion, Mason Club Volleyball has officially begun for Spring 2022, and having experienced the intensity of the first practice yesterday, I know this will be my outlet from the upcoming academic stress. 🏐
