It has been three weeks since we first reported back to College Station for volleyball. In those three weeks, our improvement has been substantial. We have been practicing two times a day and lifting or conditioning once each day. Double days, as we call them, are definitely the most physically challenging part of the season and we just finished last Wednesday!!! Whoop!! Our coaches told us this was the best two-a-days they have seen in a while which makes us feel good and confident for this season.
This weekend is our first tournament and we are playing at Duke. Many of us have never seen North Carolina but we have heard it is beautiful. We are all really excited and there is a lot of adrenaline building. On Friday we play Marquette and on Saturday we play Pittsburgh and Duke.
A couple of the girls on the team are extra happy because their parents are coming out to watch us play. Carol has not seen her parents in a couple of months and they will be there. Beth and Kari Kelley's parents will be there as well so we will have some people here cheering us on.
The team spirit is really positive and upbeat right now. We can't wait to step out on the court in Cameron Indoor Stadium and see all of our hard work pay off.
Wish us luck and gig'em!
