Rekindled passion

Yesterday, me and my volleyball mates went to have a friendly spar with a Russian volleyball team. We had to take a 40minute ride just to get to the venue though due to some miscommunication, we arrived at the wrong place and had to walk quite a bit of distance before getting up another bus to get to the arena. The opponent team consist of a university volleyball represantative and a Sri Lankan player while the rest of them were made up from kids aging from 10-15 years(my guess). The university rep was very tall and used that advantage against us. Despite having our first team playing against him and the fact that most of his teammates are just high schoolers, he played his game well and we lost quite a few matches to his team. During the match, I felt the fire and passion for volleyball return to me. Even though we lost most of the matches, I was really thrilled and enjoyed the game tremendously. I guess, the monotonous routine of having a training session all these while and no actual competition put out my fire on will to strive and do better. Today is White Valentine's Day and I would like to wish everyone out there a Happy White Valentines.
