That's why I think I didn't tell 219 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 3: anybody I was going, because I was. I was so nervous. 220 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, let me just go there and 221 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 3: then see how it's going, and then then I'll start 222 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: posting about it. 223 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 5: And so they started posting about you, which was a. 224 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: Good choice to me. Yeah, I know they started posting burns. 225 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: Was the reaction to hold the difference to yourself because 226 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: you like, for a reason, like you want to make 227 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 2: sure you're gonna go there and do well before you 228 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,119 Speaker 2: have people. 229 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: Like following you and that kind of stuff. 230 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: Or you were like, let me just get my feet 231 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: wet really quick, and then I'm gonna let people. 232 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: Know exactly I think it's the second one. Like I 233 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 3: really just wanted to get my fee web feet under 234 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: like before I started, like you know, telling everybody about it. 235 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 3: And I think that was a good choice because I 236 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: was for me personally, I'm going to know this in 237 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 3: my circle. But I can get overwhelmed pretty easily. So 238 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: like if I'm telling everybody, I'm going toandling and then 239 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 3: I'm dealing with the travel, dealing with like the healthy 240 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: systems running and everything like that, I'm already overwhelmed. So 241 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 3: I really wanted to stick with what my goal was. 242 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 3: And my goal was to just learn a difference all 243 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 3: of volleyball, learn how to block different players, how to 244 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 3: hit against different players, and really just be a better 245 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: volleyball player, you know. And so that was really my goal. 246 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: I wasn't really going to tell anyone honestly, like the 247 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: whole time. 248 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: And I'm like, you, I love it. 249 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 4: Do you feel like people a obviously gonna bust you. 250 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 4: I feel like, now that's really helped you coming back here. 251 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 4: Like all of the experience that you have in Italy, 252 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 4: what do you what would you say, is like the 253 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 4: biggest piece that you've taken away from like your two 254 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 4: kind of short stints in Italy. 255 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, So honestly, that's a that's a really good question 256 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 3: because there's so much stuff that I learned, and I 257 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: think in Italy a lot of the coaches, for me personally, 258 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: I feel like, don't talk as much like our coach 259 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: and Navara he was very he was very kind of 260 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 3: letting the players figure out what they need to do, 261 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And so for me growing up, 262 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: anytime I did something, I would like look over to 263 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: the coach and be like, oh, like did I do 264 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: that right? Now? Did I do this right? You know? 265 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 3: And so I feel like in Italy and on the 266 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 3: team specifically I was on, he really wanted us to 267 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: kind of problem solve on our own. And I think 268 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 3: that helps me better with with my mindset, with figuring 269 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 3: out things. Just playing wise, and then just playing against 270 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 3: different type of players I think can really help you too. 271 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 3: It's not to say like if I go somewhere else, 272 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 3: like I'm gonna block the players the same. I feel 273 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 3: like knowing different players and how they hit the rhythm 274 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 3: and their approach, I think it can help you a lot. 275 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: And so I think for me that's what I valued 276 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 3: a lot for some reason, I don't know. And it 277 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 3: was over there and we were playing in the arena 278 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 3: and there's so many people, like it really is a 279 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 3: lot of pressure, and yeah, and I learned to really 280 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: enjoy that. Like I liked it. It felt like I 281 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 3: was literally I don't even know, it felt so good. 282 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 3: So I liked it. 283 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: What was like someone like, you know, that's all I 284 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 2: have permission to take in especial when comes, like you said, 285 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 2: trying to block different players, learn new system definitely probably 286 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: different than the American style kind of system, and then 287 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: going into a massive gym environment and you know, learning 288 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 2: how to take that environment and enjoy it and be 289 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: able to really focus in, you know, keen on what 290 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 2: you're doing on the court. What were some of the 291 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 2: practices that you did for yourself to make sure make 292 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: sure you're. 293 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: Ready to go every day? 294 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 3: So I would journal a lot. Are you talking about 295 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 3: mentally or like physically mentally? 296 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: Mentally? Mentally physicis yea. 297 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I would journal a lot. And I remember, 298 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: like I said, before my first practice going into Rome, 299 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 3: I think I was just like I just want to, 300 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 3: you know, like do good. I hope I do so 301 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: good or whatever, like it was so broad my goal basically, 302 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: and I feel like when I was going to Novara 303 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 3: it was way different, Like my goal was like, Okay, 304 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: just be patient each drill, make a goal like if 305 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 3: we're doing cross court pepper, make sure you're moving your 306 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: feet quick or if you're blocking, make sure you're just 307 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: watching the ball and not be too frantic, you know. 308 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: So I kind of section each drill and had a 309 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: goal for each drill basically, and I think that just 310 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 3: made my life easier, honestly. So just looking back at 311 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: both the situations I was in, I really valued my 312 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: second one because of my mindset. 313 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: I feel like, what's been. 314 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: The biggest transition from season one to season two for you? 315 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 3: I don't know, Okay, if I'm being so honest, I think, 316 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 3: honest give us if I'm being so honest, because and 317 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 3: Maggie can probably back me up with this one too. 318 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: But I think for us it was an adjustment because 319 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: essentially we have the same team essentially. Yeah, and everyone 320 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: in the league, all the teams essentially, I think, have 321 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: different people and I think like going into season two, 322 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 3: I think a lot of the teams did a great 323 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 3: job of seeing that we're essentially the same team and 324 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 3: scouting us because as obviously they've seen us before, you know, 325 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 3: And so I think that was a big adjustment for us, 326 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: knowing that we know what we can do well, but 327 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 3: we just got to do it better, you know. So 328 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 3: I think that was a wake up call for a 329 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 3: few games, and we just had it bounced back, like 330 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 3: we know, everyone knows how it is to lose a 331 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 3: couple of games in our own losing streak, it felt 332 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 3: very morbid, but we bounced fun. So it's not fun. 333 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 3: It was really tough, and I honestly think that's a 334 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: big reason. 335 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with everything that you it is. 336 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 4: It was definitely a challenge because people know us so 337 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 4: well and they know like our arsenal and what we 338 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 4: can do when we're on and we had to learn 339 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 4: everybody else. 340 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: But you guys are also in the same way. 341 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: You're kind of being able to use your bench a 342 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: little bit more too, you know, you have the depth 343 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: of that you guys every now and then that's different, 344 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: you know, ye last year. 345 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's. 346 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 4: An adjustment different, different, a little bit different style for sure, 347 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 4: but but yeah, like I agree with Amber, and then 348 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 4: just kind of figuring other things out as we go 349 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 4: to has been different than last year? 350 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: Is there? I guess for both of y'all, is there 351 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 2: like a certain like a certain amount of like pressure 352 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 2: of stress to know that, Okay, yeah, we're all the 353 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: same team and we have this camaraderie like we should 354 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: be able to, like, you know, with stand whatever that's 355 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 2: kind of coming towards us and kind of soff shaky. 356 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: How which were you guys to say we're trying to 357 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 2: like maintain and get out of that, like you know, 358 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: downward spiral. 359 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, honestly, honestly, wasn't spiral. No, honestly, I that 360 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 3: was I think part of the frustration for me was, 361 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 3: oh my gosh, like okay, like we're like we have 362 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 3: these peaces where this seem like but the result wasn't happening, 363 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: you know. And I do think as athletes, and I 364 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: do have to remind myself of this a lot, like 365 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 3: as athletes, I really do think we compare like what 366 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 3: you or the team was last year versus this year, 367 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 3: Like every year is different. You know, you really can't 368 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 3: compare anything from last year because every year is different. 369 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 3: So we're all the same good players, but you just 370 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 3: have to recognize that and not compare, because there's really 371 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: no point to compare. Oh we this happened last year. Okay, 372 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: well it's not last year anymore, you know. So I 373 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: think I think our coach really just gave us a 374 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 3: talk and she was like, Okay, we're just gonna have 375 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 3: to do this better, you know, like point blank period, 376 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: Like it's really not rocket science. You just have to 377 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 3: play better. So I think we started to. I don't know, 378 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 3: I don't know what's looked, honestly, but we got it back. 379 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 5: We did well, you figured something out, figured out. 380 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it just had to take a little time, 381 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 3: I think, and I think it was needed, like those 382 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 3: first few games. 383 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 5: I think, so, yeah, now we're rolling cat you see. 384 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yes, one is a win. A win is 385 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: a win. 386 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 5: You were there someday. 387 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 2: I's all, what's crazy and we're going to keep it 388 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 2: one hundred percent on this.
