this last weekend, christi and i played in a volleyball tournament with these two guys who are pretty big hitters. these two guys were crushing the ball. we started off in the bottom pool and got bumped up a pool. play was competitive and fun throughout the day and we ended up taking second place. it was a fun weekend, but after the first day i was so sore that it hurt to breathe.
i’m beginning to wonder if this is just too much volleyball for me. maybe i need to start taking it easy.
one thing that i’ve noticed is that the really big hitters all suffer from some kind of injury, be it shoulder, knee, or ankle. they are all popping pills before they play. that can’t possibly be a good sign.
I suspect some of those big hitters in D and E pools damaged themselves from other sports and are now “slacking off” by playing volleyball where they get to show off their hitting prowess.
