NOT Getting Benched

So I have my last tournament of the regular club season this weekend, it’s going to be a two day tourney and we’re playing in premiere. Which would be awesome, except there’s just one little problem… the tourney is on the same days as the Pineview invitational track meet that I’ve been trying to get to.

Now, of course I have to choose the tournament over the meet, mainly because the odds of me being invited to this meet aren’t exactly in my favor. But here’s the thing, I’ve been working my ass off trying to get invited, and thought I might have had a chance, until I found out about this tournament. I’ll keep running and just know that volleyball wins over this weekend, no biggie.
It’s not that big of a deal, I mean right? I only worked harder to try to make my times better than I have for anything in a while.

The problem with me working so hard to improve my times, is that I stressed my leg pretty bad. I mean, I couldn’t walk around my own house on thursday night bad. It’s been brutal, I’ve been in excruciating pain for the past three weeks. Not that my coaches know about it though, and I plan to keep it that way. I live very whole heartedly by the say ‘Never Let Them See You Bleed.’ So between that and my high threshold of pain tolerance, I will rarely admit to anything hurting me, and NEVER let an injury keep me from competing. Under any circumstance. Ever. I work too damn hard to give up on the best part of the sport. There’s something I guess I say pretty often lately, “I don’t care if I’m bleeding out of my eyes, I am NOT getting benched!”
