7/13

Today I got up to coach at open gym and only 8 girls showed. I'm used to 20 so it was definitely an adjustment and my practice plan wasn't suited for only 8 people. I had to wing it and let's just say some of these girls were not happy that we weren't scrimmaging and playing games the whole time. I got a lot of disrespectful comments and a lot of girls saying they were wasting their time. Keep in mind I'm only 2 years older than some of these girls so it's hard to pull the wiser, seniority card so I have to relate in another way. I used my frustration with the situation but in an outsiders perspective to compare to theirs. This seemed to reach them and slowly I got them to listen. My physical therapist took vacation for the next 2 weeks so I'm at the gym doing my workouts. I use the gym as my outlet so I just have to slow down sometimes and not push myself to a literal breaking point. I have team camp next week so I've been packing for that and honestly I'm not super excited. I love spending time with my team but it's going to be hard watching everyone play for 5 straight days while I'm only aloud to do stationary passing and serving. I'm trying to think of it as an opportunity to get more touches and get better with my technique but being honest that gets boring after awhile. All in all so far from my last pt session and now I've been doing a lot better and I'm proud of myself for overcoming my anger!
