At my volleyball class the other night my soon-to-be-coach was lamenting how little six-year-old gymnastic stars can do double back handsprings and we adults could barely summon the energy to look athletic in our volleyball approach. True dat, I thought. It's so easy to get lazy and settle for mediocrity, especially when you have the skills to back up your less than vigorous jump/approach to the ball.
Anyway, I thought of this again today when I came across this YouTube video of little Japanese girls (ages 9? 10? I'm not sure) doing a dance routine (the title of the video is "CHEERLEADING From Japan Best Ever special Stunt!!" which of course made me want to watch it). There are no "special stunts" that I can see (then again, I know nothing about cheer or dance), however these kids' synchronization and flexibility is amazing.
When I watch something like this it gives me chills and motivates me to improve my game. If these springy little kids can perform like that, perhaps this old girl can get up the gumption at 27-years-old to play a better game of volleyball too.
On the bright side: I now have time to blog about all the psuedo-interesting things
that happen to me as a job-seeker and stay-at-home "pet mom".
