Started messing around with tennis in junior high, but never played on the schol team. Played for like 2 weeks in high school, but I quit. I just wanted the girls to check me out. It didn't happen.
I picked up volleyball my senior year in high school and have fallen in love with the sport ever since. I played mainly intramural since the colleges and unviversities in my state do not have NCAA men's volleyball teams. Another challenge is that I'm only 5'5". So eventhough I can hold my own, people often pass me by.
Throughout college and even afterwards, I've had the chance to share and coach people in this great sport. I have met lots of really cool people. Man, if I was another 10 inches taller! I would have tried for college or pro. Don't know if I would be great, but at least at 6'3" I'd have a chance. Oh well, gotta use what I have.
I think some of my proudest moments have been playing in sand and grass tournaments. We've gotten to the semifinals but have only won 1 tournament though. Hey, it's still a good win in my book. The look of "shock" when people realize that a 5'5" player and a 5'10" partner whooped their asses is just PRICELESS!! Hehehe.
