Dreams and Aspirations

        As some of you know, I am generally an athletic person.  I played softball for 11 years, volleyball for 6, and basketball for 1.  And I know it's so hard to believe, but I wasn't exceptionally skilled at any of those sports.  Sure, I had some decent seasons and good games, but it was never really enough to get me a big scholarship.  
        I was more skilled at softball (mostly my senior year), but volleyball was and is my favorite sport. Since graduating high school, I've had the opportunity to play intramural sports at college, which has kept me sane.  I must add that my intramural softball team won the championship!
        I've also had the incredible opportunity to coach my old high school volleyball team.  This past year was my first year as assistant coach to my mother, and my sister was a senior captain on the team.  Our team won runner-up in our conference, and we came in third in our division at the National Association of Christian Athletes volleyball tournament in Tennessee among 40+ other home school teams.  Considering this was only EA's third year having a volleyball team, I think they did pretty well and they're only going to get better! Coaching those girls was such a blast and I can't wait for the upcoming months.  It came so easy to me and I loved it so much that I really believe that God's plans involve me coaching even more in the future.
        As mentioned in my previous post, I am finishing up my second year of studying Exercise Science.  I've really been enjoying my classes that involve the human body, not so much the math and history classes.  When people ask me what I want to do with an Exercise Science degree, at first I've been saying that I wanted to be a strength and conditioning coach.  While I still plan on learning more about and studying strength and conditioning, I'm leaning more towards coaching.  I guess you could say my dream job would be to become an upper level volleyball coach who is also a certified strength and conditioning coach.  Pretty specific I know, but a girl can dream.
        So while I'm taking these horrible cell biology, geography, and world literature classes, I'm daydreaming of volleyball season and weight lifting.
