my dgd played like her hair was on fire, she's been working hard on her skills, she had a great setter, so fun to watch. the next two nights of vb she played 5 minutes in the 2nd game with setters that wouldn't set the ball to her. She's a 5'10" 8th grader. The setter she'd played with before played for about 5 minutes in the 1st & 3rd game. she was pretty dejected when she got home & didn't think she was any good because the coach didn't play her so I sent her a Nanagram: btw, they lost all 3 games each of those nights.
Journaling reads: I want you to look at those pictures I took of you the other night, every single day. That is who you are, and you will just get better and better. I'm the furthest thing from an expert and I’m not just saying this because I'm your Nana. Trust me, I can see how much you've improved this season and if I can see it then people who really know the sport will see it. You hold your head high sweet girl because when you get on a team that doesn't spell team with an “I”, you are going to blossom even more. October 10, 2024
