My favorite part of the past week has been getting back on the court and playing with my teammates. We didn’t really realize how much we
missed having time on the court with organized practice, and it’s just nice to
have constructive work going on.
It has been a busy first week of camp. We’ve been having multiple
practices each day and also spent a lot of time lifting. In practice, we’ve
been working a lot on defense and tempo. The coaches want us to make a play on
the ball and get it to our setters quickly.
This year’s team seems to have a better feel for each other. Last
year, we had mostly new players and all new coaches. We’ve been able to pick up
where we left off in the spring instead of starting from scratch. As a result,
I feel like we’re all moving towards the same goal and have better mentality
entering season.
Our coaching staff has also planned activities away from the court
that have helped us get to know each other better. Last Sunday, we went to YMCA
Camp Y-Noah, which was really fun. And then we had a movie night on Thursday
and watched “Coach Carter.” It was a good time and it was nice to spend time
with the coaches outside of practice.
