Playing Within Yourself

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you over think and almost work too hard for it? I honestly know that that makes no sense at all but grrrr, I think that way right now with volleyball. I want so bad for our team to succeed that I feel like I am over thinking certain plays and movements.

As a captain to do not want to come across as questioning or stressing to the rest of my teammates but it is so hard. I want everyone to play their best volleyball this weekend so so so bad. But how do I get them to do that without freaking them out or freaking out myself.

I think my best bet is to just play within myself and to the best of my ability, and only expect the rest from my teammates. But that is SO hard at times! Either way... we can only worry about our side of the net and effect our play. Whatever the other team does is their business.

It's time to step up Bears and play to the level that is deep within us. The key is to play within ourselves.

Go Bears!

Worries about the Future

After listening to Janelle Steele tonight at PRSSA I started to worry about what I am going to do after college. I was sitting there listening to her talk about how she truly does not enjoy her job and accepted the position because she needed an income. I never want to be in a position/job that I do not enjoy. :(

That is one fear I have in life. That I will be stuck in a position that I do not want to be in but I can not leave or say no. WOW! But the way the economy is right now, how easy is it going to be to say no to a job offer because how many offers will someone get??

Then...my next thought process is lets just go unto graduate school to further my education now. Due to the way the economy is maybe the best choice is to go onto graduate school and then have a better chance of obtaining a job in the future.

What am I going to do though?? What is the right choice?? What path do I want to take?? I wish the answers were laid out in front of me but they are not. What if I make the wrong decision? My future is so up in the air and that worries me SO much.

Grace.
