Favorite Quote:
"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better" - Maya Angelou


The burning in my knees,

The bruises on my arms,

Bump!

The precision of timing,

The position of my body,

Set!

The stinging in my hand,

The power through my arm,

Spike!

Makes me feel like I’m alive

And nothing else matters

I love the fight

It ignites a flame in my soul

A flame that can never be extinguished

Can never be taken away

The thrill of a close match

The excitement of winning

The pain of losing

There’s nothing that could make me stop playing

Volleyball is life

Volleyball is my life.

I am a multi-sport athlete who plays volleyball and runs track. This poem is from the perspective of a libero, basically a defensive specialist. In this position, you have to know how to pass, set, and hit just incase.
