Feeling Olympic
Aug 15th, 2008 by Roxana
If there are two things that don’t thrill me, they are going to Beijing and playing volleyball. Now, after watching the Olympic Games, I can maybe change my mind about one of them: volleyball.
Having sports teachers who were trained under a military regime, volleyball didn’t seem so much fun when I was in high school, even though I didn’t have to worry about Health Insurance at the time. I mean, I still had a limited number of fingers that couldn’t be replaced… But watching the Brazilian team jump and hit the ball made me change my mind, and wonder what my teachers missed in their explanations of what seemed to be the War of the Worlds.
Kudda’s videos explain quite well the steps of how to play volleyball, so now I understand. Passing the ball is not an attack. It is a move, and you could have fun doing it, too. Especially if you’re playing on a Brazilian turquoise-water-paradise beach.
