man, standing here after that volleyball win feels like starting with a clean sheet, like everything leading up to this point—every practice, every play—was just building us up for this moment. you know, it's like volleyball predispositioned us for moments like these, sensitive to every touch, every movement. looking back, there were times we might've overlooked the small details, but tonight, it clicked; we sought clarifications when we needed, adjusted, and just played with our hearts. it's sensitive, this game; it teaches you more than just how to win, but how to be a part of something bigger than yourself.
