Volleyball Goddess.....

No, not me (although it does sound like me, right?).  CoCo's team won a tournament this weekend.  It's been a tough season so far for their team and this win meant A LOT.

I have to say that she is really talented at Volleyball, but more than that, she is just so unflappable during volleyball games. And that does NOT sound like me.  I was always a bit of an emotional player.  ahem.

It is really something to see.  Especially since this is the same kid that I see melt down on occasion (read that: daily).  She's in that pre-teen hormone-induced weirdness that makes her a little difficult at home.  I've been threatening her with military school for the last year or so......I digress.

But not on the volleyball court.

She is steely and determined.  Nothing phases her.  She stays focused and calm.  Even with the game on the line, she serves with confidence and perfection.

I marvel at her. 

I'm pretty sure it won't be the last time.

It is great to see our kids find something like this that they enjoy and are good at!

Well, you weren't "steely", but I would argue that you WERE determined. Phil, father of your basketball teammate Lori, once commented to Dad that he didn't know anyone who had a stronger will to win than you!

And remember the semi-state afternoon game in volleyball? Their star kept serving her bullet serve right at you (while her boyfriend loudly heckled you from the stands a few feet away), but you hung tough and didn't get rattled. Your team would not have won the state championship the next week if at times like that along the way players like you hadn't been determined NOT to lose.

I love and admire Coco so much and love to hear a story like this about her. But YOUR baby has nothing on MY baby when it comes to a will to win.

I love you, babe and, in case you haven't noticed, I'm always proud of you. :)

Love, Mom
