Today was the first day of playing volleyball in China! This morning we worked on defense and serving. After our work out, we went to the Shanghai Sports Complex’s weight room to lift. It was a tad different than the workout rooms we are familiar with back at home. Different types of machines, different weight measurements (kg instead of pounds), and we saw the Shanghai volleyball team doing different work outs. i.e. running in a loop of a rope being held by a teammate behind them. After working out we went to lunch and then we all took a giant nap -which was much needed for our afternoon practice. At our second practice today we focused on offense, particularly hitting. It was awesome playing next to the Shanghai’s youth volleyball team and senior team…..they are amazing! Each water break you could find our team watching them train in awe. I am excited to play them this upcoming week and am looking forward to our first match tomorrow ☺
