Sally’s story
Since childhood, I have practiced volley as a real hobby. But since 2008, four years ago, I haven’t played this sport for several reasons. The first reason why I haven’t played volleyball for many years is that I didn’t have time to study or do homework. The other reason, the most important one, is that I broke my wrist in a badly way.
One day, a coach of a professional team, called me to ask me if I could play on a volleyball match for substitute a girl who had hurt because she couldn’t play.
For a long time that I didn’t practice this sport, for this reason I didn’t know if I was able to return to play volleyball. Finally, I decided to confirm my assistance to the match.
It was the match’s day. My legs didn’t stop to shake. In the first minutes of the game I was very insecure. Them, I picked up confidence and I began to make points. I was so happy when I scored the winning point.
