Well, no matter how I hate to admit it, season's over and honestly I'm really very sad about it. I'm not sad because we lost. I'm sad because there'll no longer be trainings and video screenings and complaining about training outdoors or rushing through lunch to set up the hall. I'll really miss all these wonderful memories that joining TJVB has given me, and all the experience I've gained from the day I joined in 2007. I still remembered, the first time I went up to the hall for trials, I couldn't even dig 5 balls against the wall. But today, I'm tjvb captain and I'm proud to lead such a great team who has been with me through thick and thin all these years. They've given me such relentless support and really, that makes my whole life in TJ worthwhile. Volleyball has brought meaning to my life and it gave me something to look forward to everyday I go to school. It's amazing, how all of us who have completely no volleyball background, can improve so much and go so far in the A div. I know that we couldn't make it into the second round. But hey, we beat 2 teams in our group and gave the 2 other ones a really hard time. We lost by a small margin, but for beginners like us, it's already a great achievement because we put up a good fight. I believe my passion for volleyball will never die, and I'll continue loving and playing the sport whenever I can. NTU here I come.
I'm really thankful for what Mr Fung has done for us all these years. He's the one that so patiently taught and groomed us from scratch to what we are today. It really takes alot of time, effort and patience to teach a bunch of clueless people volleyball, really. So I really wanna thank him for letting me become what I am now and for all my achievements. It's because of him my passion for volleyball is so great and I'll forever be grateful to him for being my first ever volleyball coach. In my 3+ years in TJVB, he has never scolded or raised his voice at us even if we did something wrong or kept making the same mistakes. That's how compromising and caring he is towards us. Thank you so much for everything Mr Fung. I promise I'll go down and help you out whenever I can to train the juniors no matter how much I dislike them.
Next, I wanna thank the seniors who would come down from time to time to play with us and correct our mistakes, and even supporting us during our season. Also, the guys team for helping and quietly (literally) supporting us along the way.
Right now, I think I'll need alot of time to adjust to life without volleyball. I wonder if I'll ever get used to it because everytime I see the juniors training I'll just feel all nostalgic and sad again. No having more shirts and towels than notes taking up space in my bag, no more lugging a fat shoebag with kneeguards to school. Man, it's just been 2 days but I'm feeling all depressed already. For now, I hope that TJVB guys can make it into at least the top 4 for A div. They have the potential so keep training hard and jiayou!
