It's game night and the stands are almost packed. The roar of the crowd let's us know they have are back no matter what happens. We warm up. Hearts are racing for the time being. The line up is called out. I can hear my heart beat like a drum keeping a steady beat. The whistle blows. EVERYTHING goes silent. The ball comes over the net. The pass is a little off. Our setter uses it to an advantage. Left, right, leftright,up,swing. BLOCKED! Thank God our defense covers good. Pass is perfect, set is excellent. Middle quick! She sees the split! BOOM!!!!!! NOT A CHANCE! Smiles are everywhere. Next thing we know we are tied 2 games a piece. The last game only goes to 15. We have to bust our butts to get this done and get the W on the board. Sweat dripping done every ones face. But game faces are still strong. The other team sets up for a 32. "STEP IN! STEP IN! I'M HERE! I'M HERE!" Up the blockers go! They looked early on the jump but the block.....IS GOOD. Point us! 13-14 game point. Our best server is up. She serves it short. They get it up! They set up for a slide. Our block is ready. We push the ball out on the block. Deep corner? It hits the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE WIN! WE WIN! WE WIN!
The most important thing to me is volleyball. I love the sport and the intensity it brings to personalities. Not only is it fun but it's also a very good way to loose weight:)
