We got a win! We won yesterday in 5 with the final game's score being 15-13. It was a very eventful game. I guess we should have won in 3, but we always get close and then don't pull out the win. After this tough match I am hoping that we have learned to figure out how to win. Sometimes its a concept people are foreign to. When the game gets tough they don't know what to do because they don't know how to win. I have encountered this situation several times in the past. I am hoping that we get it out of our system and get used to this whole winning thing.
The cool thing about our team is we have a lot of versatility. If someone is having an off game we have plenty of players who can sub in and do a good job. But the hard part is, it would just be easier for the starter to play well (ha ha).
I have been playing okay. I haven't hit my strides yet, but I'm not playing bad. Surprisingly, I'm not passing well. That always used to be a strong point in my game and it has gone bad. So that is pretty frustrating. I know I can better, I'm just not. But, I know it will turn around.
So the eventful game. The game started with them giving us this Cactus drink in a glass bottle with 20% alcohol. Yeah that was their gift to us. Back in the states gifts were socks, wristbands, or raisins. Not here, its alcohol! So yeah game started great! Then about midway through the match the other team started yelling through the net. Things got heated. They blocked me on one play and their middle was standing there screaming at me. Yeah I was always told what goes around comes around.
(Major event entrance)
So its the 5th set, about midway through. I go up and smash this ball line. One of my hardest hits. I pegged this guy in the face. I just saw it out of the corner of my eye and so I turned and started cheering because I never hit people in the face. My whole team was cheering too. It was exciting. Then, Scott yells, "everyone shut up!" I look back and see this guy on his back holding his face with half his team around him and the other half yelling at us through the net. As it turns out, the guy ended up having a bloody nose and a black eye. I remember looking at the bench and seeing this poor guy with a bag of ice on his face and he had the blank stare of person who just had a concussion. Yeah, things got real heated after that.
One fight almost broke out, more smack talking than should be legal, several yellow cards almost handed out (1 actually was, but it was at the beginning of the match) and a lot of unhappy people.
And so, the game ended with us being down 12-13, we just sided out and needed this point badly. After several diving plays, amazing saves and clutch blocks/kills we scored 3 points and won.
All in a days work.

We lost
We lost this weekend 3-1 to Kapellem. We are out of the Belgium cup. Its frustrating. I played a pretty steady game. Just once again we aren't clicking very well. I have to go, so hopefully I can update more later. Have a good week!

10 Things that are Hardest Getting Used to in Belgium
Here are the 10 Hardest things to get used to in Belgium. Starting from 10 (least hard) going to 1 (hardest).
*One thing to not make the list is deep fryers. Everyone has a deep fryer in Belgium.
#10) Cup of coffee. Yeah, so apparently a cup of coffee over here is about the size of my thumb. When I asked for a "mocha" they brought out (with a regular black coffee) a little packet of cream, that on the outside said "Mocha". Yeah, it didn't quench my coffee fix. So I went to the Starbucks at Brussels airport :)
Number 9) No tax or tipping. When you order your food, and the price says 4.50, you pay exactly 4.50. No tax, no tipping. It gets me every time. I order, then I start adding up 8.25% tax, 15% gratuity; that 4.50 turns into 8.00 dollars in the states. Not here! 4.50=4.50
8) This one is simple, but yet annoying. So for all my life my birthday has been on 2/14/86. Not in Europe. In Europe my birthday is 14/2/1986. Yeah, when you do a lot of paperwork, you mess that up a lot!
7even) The music here has been an experience in itself. In America, most commonly played during the night life is pop/rap. Here, the most common thing is Techno. Hands down. I already have seen more turn tables on a stage than I ever had in the states. I always thought techno was one of Gabe's (my brother) sick dream at world domination.
6pack) Phone plans here are outta control. From what I understand, you buy a pre-paid card, and use money off of it when you call people. Simple. The price? .23 a minute, .13 per sms message. Yeah, screw that.
Phive) Water. It is fine here. You can drink it. It doesn't smell, like Hanford. But everyone drinks bottled water. So we are in a restaurant, we ask for nice cold tap water. We get bottled water and a bill of 1.50. It was more expensive than the beer! Ridiculous.
Four4) The time. So all the clocks are military time. So first of all, I had to remember what 15:26 pm was. But the hardest thing to get used to was at midnight the clocks read 00:00. Yeah, it freaks me out every (every) time. I keep thinking the world is ending! No joke.... That is going to be my nightmare when I am an insomniac at a mental institution during my 80s.
3#) The currency here is flat out killing me. The euro looks like monopoloy money, and feels like it too. It feels like plain paper. So I look at a fifty and think 'worthless'. Yeah doesn't bode well for me. Then to top it off, the Euro coins go up to 2. So in America the highest coin you commonly saw was a quarter (.25$). So if you had a pocketful of coins in the states it would pretty much mean you had nothing. In Europe, a pocketful of coins could mean a lot of money. Yeah, swallow that one down.
11) Can anyone in the states tell me the size of their refrigerator? Yeah, standard answer is standard. Yeah, standard for here is the size of Americas small office refrigerators. No joke, we are talking 1 m X .75m (3ft X 2ft). In America, refrigerators are easily twice the size of that.
ONE) Small portions, for same price. It very common to get smaller and costs just as much. But, the hard part is this doesn't apply for everything. So it is hard to differentiate between what is going to be HUGE and what is going to be super small by just observing the prices. For example the coffee. Little baby cup for 4 euro. Then yesterday we went and got a huge sandwich for 5 euro. (No tax or gratuity of course). So it makes for very interesting and sometimes frustrating outings.
So that completes the 10 things that are hardest getting used to in Belgium. Hope I got some laughs, hope you got some insight.

First Game!
Our first game was tonight! Yeah, we got to play! But, it was a tough loss. Here's how the game went down....
Set one we were up 24-22 and gave up 4 straight points to lose the match. Yeah, we had it. Second set we were never really in it. Couple bad plays, several subs and we lost our rhythm. We almost came back, but they closed the second set out. We switched line ups, and won the next two sets. They were both close, but by the end of the sets we had some breathing room and won. So 5th set. Game to 15. We kept switching points back and forth, but we were losing ground here and there and they continued to side-out. I was serving and we had the game 9-11, we were down. And they ended up siding out, and going on a small run. It was 14-9 when we finally got the ball. That is a lot of ground to cover. The final score was 15-11. It was a tough one. But, we have over 20 more games of league play. We still got a lot of games ahead of us.
In terms of my performance I played pretty good. My guess is I hit in the ball park of .200 and went 15/35 with 7 hitting errors. I passed okay. I had a lot of good passes, but there was one or two where I could have done better for sure.
I felt like the whole team played good, we just didn't.... click. More play should allow us to work out the kinks and allow the clicking to begin. Highlights of the game: Maartin had several huge blocks (I mean Huge), Scott had a block that (1st) bounced off the ground and (2nd) pretty much gave the guy a bloody nose (after) bouncing off the ground. Miehele had a hit that landed somewhere by the 10ft line. Manu hit a ball about 150 kmph. I think if it had of hit someone we might of had to get an ambulance. And Yentl and Yence both had some sets that even faked me out; they were so good. So in the end we didn't get the W, but we did have some very positive moments and a lot of good material to learn from.
So here's a sneak peak at a future blog- "10 things that are hardest getting used to in Belgium"

It All Hit Me
It all hit this week. I am a professional athlete. I am a VC Zoersel's asset. You ask, what led you to this epiphany? The fact that I was bouncing on a trampoline.
So here's the deal. I grew up with a trampoline. Fallen off more times than I can count doing flips, playing tramp basketball and volleyball. But never once have I been hurt. So I was bouncing on a trampoline two days ago. Just bringing back old times, doing the seat drops and the flips; stuff like that. Well my manager see's me and starts worrying instantly. He says be careful, it would be bad news if you got hurt. Right then I did a backflip. His eyes lit up and he suggested that I shouldn't do that again. HAHA!
Then, the nail went into the coffin. We were helping last night VC Zoersel setting up a party for Friday. Our manager gives us gloves and says "be careful! Don't want you guys to get any splinters." I just about lost it........
But in the end, I do understand where they are coming from. Just like how any player is important to the team, you don't want the player to go get hurt. Especially when you set high goals to do well in cup and league. The importance of all the players on the team is worth more than money.... and Injury.
So in conclusion-
I will eat my vegetables. Repeat, I will eat my vegetables. Repeat, I will eat my vegetables.

First Win
We won the cup game this weekend 3-1. We lost the first barely on a late come back by the other team. Our team was playing good, but brought the heat as the match continued. We went on to win the second set decisively by 4 or 5 points. The third set was the game changer. We were down 24-21. Yentl (one of our better servers) served 3 good serves in a row. This is how the other teams stats went. Block, ace, hitting error. Game was tied 24-24. Yentl got us another point, then they sided out. We sided out right back. Then we got the last point and won the set. The other team was done. 4th set wasn't very close. Our team played very well at the end. So we move on to the 2nd round of cup play vs Kapellem. It should be a good match. Hopefully Scott and I get to play! Yeah, we didn't get to play this weekend cause paper work isn't done yet. And it sucks even more, its nothing we can control.
While riding the plane to Europe, I didn't know what to expect. I have never been to Europe and people tell me it is so much different! When I got here, I was a little surprised. It isn't all so much different. Sure the language is different, the houses are different, the food is different, but the people are the same. It was then that I realized that culture and beliefs are different from person to person, but the people are the same; no matter where you come from. They still feel, fear and struggle. You look into their eyes and see depth; not language barriers. Some people are mean, some are nice. Some are looking for friendship, some are looking for peace, some are looking for a fight. I found it amazing. Is this so much different that where I came from?
In a world where we are taught to see differences, God somehow showed me how to see similarities. I began to see people, not things.

Eat Some Nutella
So I have had 4 or 5 people ask me to elaborate more on my blog. I like the ideas streaming in.
Personality of our team. In the big picture, our team is young, aggressive and passionate. Even though we have a 40 year old on our team, it is the younger guys who drive the team. In terms of leadership, there is no real standout leader. It's almost like everyone is.... waiting. Waiting for someone to take charge and lead by playing well, all the time. By establishing that type of player I feel the team will flourish. When you talk about our team, first thing that comes to mind is young talent. Everyone has so much potential, and they are all good players already. Not to mention a bag of Skittles of personality. Its Scott and My joke, everyone wants to party with our team.
Our coach, Jee, is very observant and has a good way with the players. He rarely yells at us, but he isn't afraid to call out our weakness or what we need to work on. I love it. It helps me to stay focused on the task at hand. He also, as i said, observes. He talks to us, asks us how we are feeling. Instead of saying "you sucked" he said to me, "is there anything wrong, are you okay?" Its nice having a coach like that.
So I will go through the players one by one-
Manu- First thing to be said, he is sitting in his class reading my blog right now while trying to obtain enough information to get his PHD. Yeah, PHD. So first thing about his character is his brains. Very smart. And has good street smarts too! On the court I see him do things that would have never occurred to me. He will hit a certain angle and it is such a smart hit it amazes me. Manu was the first player on the team to truely befriend us (but the team did follow quickly).
He also has the potential for leadership.
Yentl, the team mouth. My first encounter with Yentl was when we were first introduced to the team, Yentl was joking around with the group. But it wasn't in English. And he also had that mischievous smile that makes you think he is always trying to get your goat. My second encounter with Yentl was our first game, he was mouthing off to the other setter and after the game they almost got into a fight, on the court. Yeah, wake up call for me. He brings the fire to the team. Which is interesting coming from the setter.
Patrick, the 40 year old, married man, kids, and life. He always makes me laugh. We don't think he speaks English very well so anytime I say something around him he just looks at me and winks or smiles cause I don't think he knows what I'm saying. But he is good. I like having him on the court, and being a left handed middle, he certainly changes the flow of the game.
Jens (Yence not Jen's), is the other setter on the team. Our two setters make me laugh cause they are exact opposites in personality. Jens is quite and reserved where Yentl is loud and Joking. I certainly like them both, and they set good balls.
Martin is one of our young guys. He plays middle and is good. When he connects right, he hits the ball straight down. Its amazing to see. I have gotten to hang out with him a little bit and he keeps telling me this radio station "Studio Brussels" is the best.
Steven is our other middle, he is interesting. I have a hard time getting a read on him. Good blocker. Probably one of the better ones on the team. He is very funny. Drives his business car which is a Jaguar. Owns his own business with his family. They make lamp shades.
Michele (don't ask how to pronounce it) is one of our opposites. He was very shy at first. But after a couple of hang out times he has started to open up. He is a very good attacker. He is another one of the" smile and wink" type of personality.
Jan (Yan), our libero, is a pretty awesome guy. We played 3 hours of a shooter game Sunday on his big screen tv and with his play station 3. It is was awesome. I think me and him will be gamer buddies. The best way to explain Jan on the is Kylie, Scott's and my reaction after every game or practice, "gosh our Libero is so good!"
Kim, is our homeboy. We have spent more time with him off the court than anyone else. Kim is the player who retired last year from volleyball, had a huge article written about him in the paper. He is now playing on our team this year. He got the Brett Farve syndrome. But, I can't tell you how happy I am to have him play on the team. He is a great spark to the team when we are playing bad. He can come in at any moment and just pound volleyballs. And on several occasions he has come in and jump served 4 or 5 points for us. He is clutch. And one of the best personalities I have ever met. Now, we need to get him married!
Scott, my Canadian friend. Its funny with Scott, I think the team thinks that we were best friends before we got here in Belgium. The fact is, I had only met him two days before. As it turns out, we have a lot in common. I mean, he plays Cribbage and Rummy! I couldn't believe it. He eats super unhealthy, loves coke, little bit of a picky eater and doesn't hear a word you say the first time you say it so you get the answer, "eh?" But Scott was hard to read at first. He has a lot of personality. I have since come to enjoy his (and Kylie's) company. Kylie reminds me a lot of Jessica. Considering Kylie and Scott are going to be our roommates, I think we will have a lot of fun.
And last on the team is Me. And Me is Me.
So I hope this post quenches some of your thirst!

Ah good Practice, I can Update now
So practice last night was bomb. I finally feel like my body is bouncing back after a long unresponsive last week. We lifted, practiced and then did core workout. Alex better look out, I am going to get up to 100 kg. Oh wait, you statesmen don't know how much that is : )
So quick review on last weekend- We played a double header. We started really well and was pounding a very good team in our league. And then.... Things crumbled. We ended up losing 2-1. Then we played the next team and the goal was just to climb out of the pit of doom. I think we ended up winning 2-1. But, it was a poor showing of our team and of me Individually. But after a good practice, that seems to be in the past now.
So this weekend brings us to the first game of the Belgium cup. I hope we win!
Game tonight, it should be fun!
So quick review on last weekend- We played a double header. We started really well and was pounding a very good team in our league. And then.... Things crumbled. We ended up losing 2-1. Then we played the next team and the goal was just to climb out of the pit of doom. I think we ended up winning 2-1. But, it was a poor showing of our team and of me Individually. But after a good practice, that seems to be in the past now.
So this weekend brings us to the first game of the Belgium cup. I hope we win!
Game tonight, it should be fun!
