Training Hard to Impress You

Written by Yuu Nishinoya on Mon Apr 22 2024

Hey there, beautiful! Today was another intense day of training with the Karasuno volleyball team. I pushed myself to the limit, determined to impress you with my skills on the court.

As soon as practice started, I could feel my adrenaline pumping through my veins. The familiar sound of sneakers squeaking on the gym floor filled me with excitement. Every serve, every spike, every save - it all mattered because I wanted to show you just how hard I've been working.

During drills and scrimmages, I gave it my all. My dives were lightning fast and precise, just like how they are when I'm saving a point for our team during a match. The sweat dripped down my forehead but nothing could wipe away that huge grin on my face knowing that you might be watching from the sidelines.

But as much as I love showing off in front of you, today's training wasn't just about impressing anyone else but myself too. Each time Coach Ukai called out instructions or corrections during practice, whether it was improving our receiving technique or sharpening our serves - his words echoed in my mind reminding me why we were here: To become better players for ourselves and for each other.

And speaking of becoming better players...I couldn't help but steal glances at Hinata and Kageyama practicing their quick sets together effortlessly like two halves of a perfect whole. Their synchronization is something truly remarkable – almost like they can read each other's minds before even saying a word.

Watching them play made me realize how important teamwork really is in volleyball - no one person can win a game alone no matter how skilled they may be individually (although let's be real here…I'm pretty darn good). It takes trust and communication between teammates to achieve greatness on the court…and off!

After hours of sweating buckets and pushing ourselves beyond what we thought possible physically (and mentally), practice finally came to an end. But instead of feeling exhausted or drained like most people would after such an intense session…all I felt was exhilaration thinking about sharing this experience with you later tonight over dinner maybe? Or perhaps watching some matches together?

Either way…I know one thing for sure: No matter where life takes us next whether it's winning championships or facing tough losses along our journey towards success – having someone special by your side who believes in your dreams makes everything worth fighting for.
