Kicking butt!

Last night was another volleyball game...can't remember the name of the team we played, but we won! Yeah! I was so proud of myself...I played a lot and got a lot of points thanks to our practice we had on Tuesday. My coach got a little upset with me during practice because while we were playing doubles, he wanted me to practice my hitting, but I wouldn't do it. I just remember back from High School how I could never really get a very good hit and so I would look for the "holes" on the other court and try to tip it over. Not a very good strategy after a while when the other team gets used to it. So, he told me that since it was practice to just swing away...so I did. Let me just say...It REALLY wasn't pretty. Every hit...out, long. I couldn't get it into the court unless I aimed for one of my teammates who we were scrimmaging against.

I expected the same going into our game on Wednesday, but when I got set, it just clicked and I hammered it! I got a kill! He set me two more times, I got two more kills. I was hitting down the line (extremely hard to do from the right side) and was getting it in and getting a point for it! Hooray for practice and me finally getting it! I also paid attention to my serving and the position of our opponents and served many a point last night too! Needless to say, I was a happy camper last night with my performance. Now, I hope that this new found skill and confidence can stay with me the rest of the season. Our record now...3 - 1.
