Volleyball Update #2 (2012-2013)

With just about one more training week left, we are nearing the peak of our skills in time for the ISAC tournament. In these last few training sessions we will polish on our skills that need more work and play a few more tune- up games so that we can practice the new plays that we have worked on and accustom ourselves to playing with different line- ups. 

Throughout the season I have been working hard on the goals I have set for myself and I can see an improvement in them. Looking at my personal volleyball goals such as improving my attack, I feel that I have made an improvement and am more flexible attacking in the different positions on the court. I also feel that I have improved on my leadership and cooperative skills on the team because I am one of the more vocal players on the court. I have learned throughout the season that communication is a very important tool in volleyball as with other sports and the improvement I have made in this area has benefited my team as much as myself.

Volleyball Update #1 (2012-2013)

Since the beginning of the season last August my teammates and I have improved on our skills and gotten used to playing volleyball again after a year without playing the sport. So far we are down to 12 players from the 16 that we began with and will soon be cutting the team down to 10 for ISAC. Until this point in the season we have played 1 game against UC high school and fortunately we claimed a victory. Though the team has made major improvements , we still have a lot of work to do before the October ISAC tournament in Cebu.

So far I can say that i have improved on my personal goals in volleyball. In the beginning of the season I made my offensive skills a major goal of mine and up to now I have felt an improvement. However, I feel that I can continue to improve my attacking skills and my overall volleyball skills for ISAC. I have also been working on my collaborative skills by being one of the more vocal players on the team and being a key player in lifting my team up when we are losing games.

I hope that my team and I will continue to improve in the 1 month that we have left before the tournament so that we can be more confident in our 4th consecutive journey to a championship.
