Made Me Feel Appreciated
We had a fun practice last night. We worked on passing, hitting, serving, etc. I’ve been having a little trouble with my serving. The balls are getting over fine but I keep hurting my elbow. I had Coach Weires look at my serve about a week ago and he said I’m coming around the ball to hit it instead of straight down. It was funny though b/c I asked what I should do and he told me it was actually a really good serve b/c of the spin…lol. But I’m working on something now to keep my elbow from hurting. Anyway, we did more plyometrics than we normally do and I’m feeling it today. Since it was Friday, we had a little fun for the last 15 minutes of practice. We played some kickball. The team I was on, ended up winning. YAY! But, the best part of the night was at the beginning of practice. We got our team t-shirts, which look awesome! Coach Marcum called us all over and started saying what an amazing job we [the JV team] did the previous night by coming back in the last two games and winning it. He then went on, “I’d like to thank one young lady who is a senior who didn’t start last night. She had been on vacation and didn’t start but she never said anything to me about it and never complained. Thank you Amber McIntosh.” We all clapped for her. Then Coach Weires said, “I’d also like to thank a young lady, NASA [me],” I was quite confused when he said my name b/c I didn’t know what I had done. He continued, “Someone had spilled their water and NASA just cleaned it up and let the girls pay attention to the game. So, thank you NASA!” hehe… I felt so special! That was really sweet of him to say that. It made me feel appreciated… It was funny when he said; “someone spilled their water”… everyone looked at Brooke and laughed. She was the one who had spilled it all over the place. So, that was nice. Well, I really need to go to bed now. I’ve got to wake up early and finish painting the house. That’s going to suck! So, goodnight.
