Everything is a test...

Everything is a test... everything is a test...

That's what I keep telling myself in order not to explode.

Our volleyball team had no chance. We knew that from the start. Two practices is not enough when you play against teams with elaborate systems. Too obvious. In no way were we technically worse than the other teams, just not enough team.

Losing as a team is one thing; giving it your best even though you might be down 10 points. Losing because of internal conflicts in the team is another. Why does one person have to think he is better than everyone else in the team, and ruin everything? (I won't go into details, but his attempted jumpserves cost us more points than all the mistakes of the others combined!) In the last set of the last game he stopped passing altogether because he didn't trust the rest of the team. Giving away points.

I felt ashamed to wear the Universidad de Belgrano team uniform, and so did the 4 other players on the team who came to play volleyball. It's not supposed to be that way. If he plays next season, I will not.

All-in-all however, it was nice to play volleyball again!


Calm down. This is where I run:

The one-hour car ride home fun: 5 people, all 6 feet something, in a Renault Clio, no A/C.
