Thunder... BOOM

          You're probably wondering about the title of my blog and it has significant meaning, which I will explain later. I help coach a 14's club volleyball team for Carroll County Volleyball Club and most of my life is dedicated to those girls. We have practice every Tuesday and Thursday but I can only come on Thursday night because I have class Tuesday night. Working with 14's is a pleasure but can also be a pain because sometimes I just don't have the patience to deal with a teenage girl. Most days I find it rewarding though because I get to teach young aspiring girls, that want to learn the game of volleyball. The girls on my club team listen very well and try to improve each and every practice. I am actually extremely proud of them because last Sunday we finally won our first tournament. Since we came in second in our pool we had to play the team that came in first in the other pool. That team ended up being our rival because they are also from Carroll County and we don't lose to other teams that are from the same county as us. The game was extremely close and I almost had a heart attack because we ended up winning the 3rd game by two points, that's the closest it can ever be. After winning the semi-final I knew we had the final wrapped up, we ended up playing my old club, MVSA (Montgomery Village Sports Association). When my girls finally won I was so excited for them, they really deserved the gold medal. We have a tournament this Sunday so hopefully they can do the same thing again. And back to the title, Thunder is our team name and whenever we get into a huddle to do a cheer we always say Thunder... BOOM!!
