Day 7: Time to Work

Day 7 January 20


A full nights sleep!! Slept til 6:15 when we had to get up to head over the stadium to begin our day. The schedule today is 7-10am for the camp for the indoor players, 10-11 we are going to teach the group some basic weightlifting and strength training exercises, 12-3 we have the beach players camp, 4-6 we are training the older group (19+) of indoor players and 6-8:30 we will have the younger group (15-19). The coolest thing is we found out some of the players have been traveling over night to come here. One group began traveling last night 7 and was 250 miles away. It took so long because some of the roads are great for traveling and another group came from the southernmost tip of of India over 500 miles away. This was an area that was greatly affected by the tsunami in 2004. Only now is beach volleyball starting to come back to the area. It's very humbling to be able to be a part of it.
