- Hi Ashley, can you introduce yourself please.

- Hey, I’m Ashley Well, I am 21 years old, I majoring in Exercise science, I am senior in Lenoir-Rhyne University and I’m in our volleyball team.
- And where are you came from?
- I came from Nelson Country. It is a small city in the middle of Virginia and it’s about 5 hours from here by car.
- Oh, and how did you end up in Lenoir-Rhyne?
- As I’m a volleyball player, the coach from here saw me on a tournament when I was 18. He just sent an e-mail and ask me if I want to be part of LR volleyball team.
- Do you regret about this decision?
- No, not at all. I like it here. I get a high quality education but my favorite part is our team. They are like the second family for me. We spend lots of …show more content…

Are you going to relate it with volleyball?
- Not only with volleyball but with sport in generally. I want to attend grade school for masseur and be an assistant volleyball coach.
- Were there any funny stories that happed with you during your trip with the team?
- Let me think. Ones we went to tournament in Tennessee and there was a building, standing on which you can find yourself in tree different states – Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia – just walking on it’s roof, and we decided to take team picture. Tree, two, one - look at the Birdie – but the real one flipped right over our heads. The picture was awesome. Maybe it’s not so funny but still it’s a great memory.
- And the last question: I know that a lot of sportsmen have their out rituals before the matches. Do you have any?
- I’m not sure if it’s ritual or not, but I always put my equipment on one leg firs, and then on the other. Like sock, knee-guard and trainer on the left leg and only after I’ve done it, repeat the same with right leg. Can’t do it chaotically. And I always wear pony-tail. But I guess it is more like habit than the ritual.
- That’s interesting. Thank you so much Ashley, hope we can come on you match against Wingate on Friday, September 18, at 7pm to cheer up

    My sophomore year of high school I played on the Junior Varsity volleyball team. We began preparing for the season by doing two-a-days the first week of August. We worked out hard the first two weeks then had our first scrimmage that next Friday. We won the scrimmage, but it was a pretty messy game. It was like we were all doing our best individually, but we were not working together as a team. The court was silent during each play and each time somebody messed up the rest of the team got mad at them.

    Volleyball represents my most meaningful commitment not just because I have invested so much into it, but also because it it’s a passion of mine and has been a part of my life since elementary school. The impact my coaches and teammates have had on my life has helped make me the confident and determined individual I am today. Volleyball also takes up a lot of time and there are many sacrifices that come with the sport and playing on a team. To keep up my skills, I have had to give up a lot of my free time and parts of my summer. Balancing school with practices was also a challenge, but participating in one of my passions made it worthwhile. I have persevered through difficult times and learned new lessons along the way, so there is nothing that could make this sport less meaningful to me. (148)

    Every good service unreturned or ball by the side receiving counts one score for the side serving. The only side that can score is the one that is serving, when the opposite side returns and count for the opposite side. When the ball hits the net on the first serve it will be dead and at that point it will be classified as one trail.

  • Descriptive Essay On Volleyball Game

    872 Words  | 2 Pages

    It was at this moment that I realized that there truly is no “I” in team. A team is not characterized by the individuals within, but rather what the individuals can come together to achieve. For so long I had tried to discover where I belonged on the team. In reality, I should have realized that from the moment I stepped on the court, I was already a member of the varsity team. With a newfound sense of strength, we continued the game. Every single point we won felt like we were putting our lives on the line, while every single point we lost felt like ten-ton chains were holding us down. Even so, it was just another volleyball game. One I had experienced on multiple occasions, perhaps not to the same magnitude, but it was a relatively familiar situation. Strangely, it felt different. I felt more relaxed, more confident, and I was having more fun. At the time, I was not sure what it came from. I was too focused on finishing out the game to pay it much attention. But reflecting on it now, I realize that without a doubt, it was because I truly felt like I belonged on the team. For the first time, I knew that my team was behind me, ready to help me up whenever I fell. We continued on with the game. Despite being down two sets to one at one point, we now found ourselves nearing victory in the fifth set. Finally, we were able to overcome the opponent to win the match three sets to two and secure the second SPC championship for Greenhill Boys Volleyball in three

    Six long hours after departing Hotchkiss, we finally reached our destination. We pulled into the parking lot of the Super 8 just off Interstate 76 in Sterling, Colorado. Since I had been to this hotel on a previous trip to Sterling, I began wishing I had brought my swimsuit along. Mom and dad went inside and got the keys for room 129. I was so sick of riding in the car that I did not care what the room looked like as long as there was a bed for me to sleep on. As we entered the room, on the left there was the bathroom sink, a mirror, and a place to hang our "good" clothes. To the right, was the miniature bathroom. There was not enough space in there for a midget. Stepping out of the entranceway, there was a wooden dresser with a 27-inch television. By the large window, there was a small table. Two queen size beds sat on either side of the nightstand. The purple patterned quilts were quite shocking compared to everything else in the room.
