Another example of facing adversity was playing our lovely rival Pinecrest. Playing against pinecrest isn’t always fun. We never thought we could beat them and turns out this year we owned them.
In the past years it has been the struggle. Either they have good defenders or a good offense. And even there’s some years where there’s no telling how the game is going to go.
But this year was totally different. Cause we didn’t care. We knew that if we just played our game no team could stop us. Meaning everyone had to be on. Our back row with passing and digging the hard balls and our offense getting good balls to be set and put away.
Also that we have positive vibes. See we aren’t a negative team, but it’s that we have so many competitive spirits that when either of us aren’t feeling what’s going on the team can feel it. Not to mention it’s like that because we have some people on the team that are just doing this for fun it makes it even harder when you need them to be just as compassionate as you.
That’s most definitely when the caliber level comes in. I say this because there’s a range of our caliber level. It’s not totally obvious, but when we have to all play at the same level it’s sometimes a bit of a task.
ANother way that we have to play our game is through patience as well. Sometimes our adrenalin is running too much that when we play we end up having unforced errors and getting ourselves down. Or when we are doing fine and get down a point or two and think that we need to make this impressive play by hitting the ball as hard as we can.
When all we need to do is just calm down and control the ball and the game the way we were taught to. Most of the times we attack the ball and it’s just us hitting the ball hard with really no control. Now sometimes coaches like that, but it’s mainly better when a coach has a player that knows how to put the ball in specific.
We actually have those type of players too. One of them is our star freshmen Sarah J. She’s 6’2 and plays like every inch of it. She’s possibly our most complete player. Then there’s our other star outside hitter Kaitlin. She’s almost a complete player she has slight moments, but if you catch her when she’s hot she’s a train that can’t be stopped.
