One of my goals to make the national team and represent my country, and work with the best and be one of the best players. I want to try and compete with the best in the world in volleyball.

We have evidence of the fact that it can work.

Right now we are struggling a little big with our relay teams. We are going to work on those and hopefully get them to run a little better.

Doing nothing gets you nothing.

Governor, why wouldn't anyone want to say the Pledge of Allegiance, unless they detested their own country or were ignorant of its greatness?

We had been scoring quite a few goals (lately). Up until the last four or five games, this team had won mostly 3-1 and 2-1 kinds of games. Maybe this was a little reality check or cold water in the face, that we need to play a tighter system defensively and try to win the 2-1 games.
