Talk Positive, Forgive Mistakes, Stay Calm
Those are the several things that 30 years of beach volleyball has taught me.
It also goes well with life too as sports are a fantastic teacher of life lessons.
When our partner as well as I are saying positive things only when the people I was with and I play the people I was with and I both do better as well as usually win. It’s when the people I was with and I start criticizing each other’s mistakes that the people I was with and I usually lose the games. It’s also a fantastic system to let go of mistakes abruptly as well as transfer on, or they can have an impact on your future play. Staying calm is consistently a fantastic thing in the middle of a heated match. Portable air conditioners help a lot in tournaments by keeping us cool between matches so that the people I was with and I calm down as well as reset for the next game. I’ve played so multiple tournaments over the years as well as met so multiple people along the way. I work in the HVAC industry now doing sales as well as repair as well as teach some volleyball on the side when I can. I still play games now but instead of focusing on winning I am more focused on creating magical plays in the games. The local business near the courts has an audience consistently there to cheer us on as well as I am so grateful for that. The people charge us up with their screams as well as clapping as well as the people I was with and I try to put on the best show possible for them. They even have air conditioning in the beach bar next to where the people I was with and I play so the people I was with and I usually hit it after the games to hang out as well as relax with the players.
