volleyball

Some people just couldn't understand why I love volleyball very much, why i'd rather get my skin burnt rather than stay inside a cool air-conditioner room. well, i got lots of things from volleyball and for now, volleyball is an ultimate passion for me.

Maybe it looks easy to play volleyball, you start it with a serve, wait for the opponent's ball, and then you pass the ball to your friend and you smash, only that kind of things. Actually, it is not that easy. Everything is just not as it seems.

When you serve, a point is in your hand, can you make a service ace with your hand? Or are you just going to serve slowly but sure? or will you give your enemy a free point? It depends on your hand.

One of the key of winning is a solid-defense, when you receive a ball, you have to think fast, give it to the tosser so your friend can smash? or will you just offense your enemy easily? You have to think fast if you want to win, you can only think for a blink of an eye, because a few seconds late, you'll have another strategy.

In a game, a ball can worth million Rupiahs. A point worth some bruises, and for some time, a game worth a body part to be injured. A practice worth your body's skin. Saving a ball can make your nose bleed, can break your arm, and get your ligament torn, a sprained ankle. For some team, it's more important to save the ball rather than your body.

There must have been rough exercise behind the great play. a great coach behind the best team, many scolds behind a tough mental. and a good relationship between the teammates. everything has its own reason.

This is the sixth year I'm playing volleyball and I've played lots of games and i know how it feels to smile the whole day because you win, and to let your opponent see your tears of losing the game. I've felt the great triumph and the mental breakdown. I've felt hundreds of my supporters screamed for me. Ocean of humans sang my team's anthem, and yes, it gave us lots of courage, joy and a great anxiety too.

When people supports you, that means they put their hope on you, when hundreds of people supports you, that also mean you have to carry hundreds of hope on your back, they give you their voice, risking their own throat, and the worst thing of playing volleyball is, a mistake can be seen easily, right to the people who made mistake. And if you're not strong enough, the first mistake will be the last one as you won't be able to play again.

Maybe after you read that, you wouldn't try to play volleyball, but trust me, after your first time trying it, you'll go for another try because volleyball is like a drug, dangerous to try, but after you try it, you'll be addicted. It is a drug, worst than heroin, cocaine, nor marijuana. Playing volleyball is like consuming ecstasy, power came out of nowhere, joy filled your heart and it makes you want it more and more.

The best thing of playing it is you'll get teammates, friend to share your burden, friends to build hope, friends to share your joy with, friends to share anxiety with, friends to cry, friends to laugh, friends to hold on, friends to play.

Words cannot describe things perfectly. By trying it yourself, you'll know how it tastes, and trust me, it will worth your while. And I can guarantee it will be your next passion.
