On to our next mission! The motivation and inspiration from our first FIVB this season (in the Netherlands) have carried over into great training and preparation for the next tournaments! We leave in a few days for Greece to play in the Continental Cup tournament on the island of Rhodes. Before and after this tournament, we have the fabulous opportunity to train with two teams ranked in the top 13 in the world! What better preparation than to train with the best!
Our next stop after Greece is Chennai, India - an added event to our calendar. We will play in the FIVB Challenger event there. These tournaments are smaller than the main events, but strong competition and an opportunity to earn points and experience!
So, we have some amazing trips ahead of us and are extremely excited and in a whirlwind of training, taking care of trip paperwork and details, along with working! One thing I experienced while playing in the tournament in the Netherlands was that with my greuling schedule outside of tournaments, I get to go into the tournaments feeling fresh, rested, and like I'm on vacation! What could be more ideal than to train (and work) so hard that the games feel like the easy part and the joyous reward/vacation? I am ready for this next vacation! Here's to a ridiculously productive week leading to our tip to Greece! OPA!
