Many people say volleyball is easy. “As long as you can hit it in the air, you can play volleyball.” I used to be one of those people. But recently, I realized how ignorant (无知的) I was.
My start in volleyball was hard. After practicing with my mother, I was full of confidence that I could join my school
team and shock everyone. I would no longer be known as a book-hugging nerd (书呆子)!
My dream was broken the next day when I played with the team. It turned out that I was unable to cooperate (合作) with other players. I also couldn’t handle balls coming from different directions. I was upset. Isn’t volleyball just about hitting the ball
I began several weeks of training with the team. Then, we had our first match against Park School. Most of my teammates had no competing experience. Looking at the Park School players, full of energy, I could already see our failure.
The ball went up. One “thump (锤击)”, a second “thump”, and I jumped up with a shout. It flew over the net. I was totally caught up in the game, feeling in harmony with my teammates.
The sounds of running feet, loud shouts and cheers filled us with warmth. During our break, everyone was sweaty and excited, talking about our teamwork.
That’s when I realized that being on the school team meant working together with others. I understood how cooperation is a kind of beauty in itself. Volleyball helped me make friends, learn new things, and find my true self within a group.
