U.S. Women's National Team Journal with   Courtney Thompson

潇湘妃子

  Hello from Colorado Springs! My name is Courtney Thompson, and I am a setter from the University of Washington. I grew up in Kent, Washington...which if you didn't know was voted sportstown USA two years ago despite our 'less than perfect' reputation...just thought I'd throw that in there.

Anyhow, I arrived here in Colorado Springs Monday (Jan. 15) and have had a great time thus far. I came in with eight other girls from around the country, and we've had a great time getting to know each other and comparing our college experiences. My roomate is Jillian Davis (the libero from University of California), so we played each other every year in the Pac-10. She is funny. Jill, as we call her, has an amazing ability to contort her face to make those looking at it erupt with laughter...she is also very talented in movie quotations and ugle dancing. More importantly, she is an awesome libero and I'm glad we're finally wearing the same jersey.

It's pretty awesome to be living at the Olympic Training Center. The people here are amazing, and it really is an inspiring place to be. I love everything about this lifestyle; our goal, our focus, our job is to become the best volleyball player we can be and here you have every tool to do just that. Since this was our first week here, the staff is trying to ease us into their way of training. I'm going to go ahead and give you a day in the life...

7:15 - My alarm goes off, I throw on warm clothes and head to the athlete center to get some breakfast. (the food is amazing by the way)

8:00 - I walk back into the room, make sure Jill is awake, then go take a shower.

8:35 - I put in my ipod and head to the gym.

9:00-12:00 - Practice

12:00 - Lunch (did I mention how great the food is)

1:00 - nap time/shower/hang out/homework (some of us are still taking classes)

3:00 - go to the athlete center and check my e-mail, and grab a snack

4:30 - weights and conditioning

5:30/6:00 - go to the recovery center- grab a post workout snack and hop in the cold pool.

6:30 - Shower up and head to dinner...(Seriously...its good)

7:30 - I usually intend to use this time for homework, however that hasn't worked so well this week.

10:30-11:00 - Go to bed because rest is important!

So that's it, and I love it. As time goes on, I've been told that we will add some practices, and get some more time in the gym...which is always a good thing. My focus now is just improving a little bit everyday, and doing everything I can to be the best player I can be...and of course, have fun while doing it.

Talk to you soon -

Courtney T.

用firefox  的翻譯軟件搞一下，
不就成了么？ [s:2]

执著的月神

还附上SCHEDULE
不知道这个新人会怎样
也很期待她的表现
我觉得最关键的是肯继续待在球场上
要是不能受这个受那个的
怕又是流星陨落

drdr

这人是谁啊？妃子想让我们知道什么信息呢？i don't think their daily schedule is that interesting, is it？

潇湘妃子

这是美国女排的新二传，是球队的Journal里面的一篇。我觉得在美国女排现在2传并不是特别宽余的情况下，算来算去，就3人，这个新二传还是比较应该值得注意的。

时光岛屿

一堆的英文，看的我眼花

为什么呢？你见过他的表现？是不是个可塑之材啊？
其实俄罗斯的二传也不宽裕，最后扶正的不是Akulova吗？

puppyg2006

不知道什么时候可以看到他的表现呢 [s:3]  
Standford出了个Logan，现在又有U Washington和UC的 [s:8] 搞到很想看看NCAA的女排比赛的说 [s:2]

valentine

美国现在的大学球员们有好多都盼着进国家队呢吧！？

崽崽

berg可惜了。。。

giba

也很期待美國隊的新二傳...........!!

看过她打球。。。基本功还是可以的，至少不像我们坤姐一样乱甩倒三角，快球也不会搞得攻手没法打。问题是她传球的脑筋太死了，和斯坦佛打得时候，哪个队员一旦通不过，肯定是换到另外一边，对面的拦网队员队员爽得不行，当然也和UW的烂攻手有关，一个比一个像秤砣，力量也一般。。。

puppyg2006

请问一下ls是在什么频道看NCAA的女排比赛的啊？espn2吗？
