Highline College Volleyball RIO day 4

Day four in Brazil, we had a nutritious breakfast. After eating, we headed straight to practice. Coach saw that we were physically exhausted, so he decided to push us mentally. We ended up going back to basics which improved our skill immensely. After improving our basic playing, we began working on running plays from a serve receive pass. Lunch is a time, that our team as a whole, looks forward to. The workers always make delicious meals for us. Some of the team decided to be adventurous and try pudding and Brazilian cookies. Suffice to say we fell in love and even took some back to our rooms to snack on later.

Going into our afternoon practice we were excited about what coach had in store for us. Our team didn't have the best focus, but coach got us back on track real quick. Not wanting to disappoint him again, we turned our attitude around and started giving it 100%.

Even with as much as we have been playing, we still have a little off time to enjoy Brazil! During our break several players and our coaches went across the road the the beach. The girls went and enjoyed the waves, and even coach Alex was having some fun and body surfing! Dinner was delicious, as usual, and afterwards entertainment was provided in the form of and intense game of pool. Coach Chris and coach Russ were battling to win, unfortunately both struggled, even on seemingly simple shots, to score. The game eventually ended, after much drama, suspense, and humor, with a win for coach Chris.

Needless to say our team is getting a little tired after all the practices (3 each day), but we are still looking forward to the next few days!
