Dear Volleywood,
Here is my fun experienced that I wanted to share with you and the volleyball fans around the world :).
Last week, my friends and I went to Phuket to play in the Amateure Beach Tournament. At the same time, this tournament was part of the FIVB Women’s Event in Phuket.
One unforgettable experience in Phuket was meeting the Great KERRI WALSH. She’s amazing! She’s lovely! She’s super nice!
Also, we were so fortunate that we got to trained with the top Spanish Coach while we were there. We also played a fun game with Ana Paula Henkel (formerlly Connelly) and Tatiana Minello.
The best moments that I will never forget were:
- Meeting the Italian Girls and one of them (Giulia Momoli) end up joining us to play in the 4’s tournament. She is playing like she is playing in the tournament. She hits really hards and block a friend of mine like a cake. (FYI, she is playing on the regular men’s net and still hit the ball down on the 12 foot line)
- Saturday night during the player party at the beach. One of the French Girl, Melody wanted to play on the center court at night in the dark. She was itching to play and was looking for a ball to play. I was lucky because I was there at the perfect time and a perfect moment :). So I told her that I had my ball with me, then she was rushing everyone to finished the beer and head to the center court. After we all done, she signed my ball and gave me a nice hug before she is leaving to France.
Last but not least, we were part of the closing ceremony in Thailand :). We were inside the center court giving high fives to the winners.
