Day 4 ~ Volleyball

In comparison, volleyball is a fairly recent addition. While I had played informally years ago, it was only for brief periods and never with instruction. It wasn't until 2015 that I decided to take classes. What is similar to tango is that it requires concentration and that progress is slow. In my case, unlike what happens with tango, not having had any previous experience makes it all the more challenging. The first year I concentrated on serving, dedicating extra effort to that; the second year, I focused on hitting; the third, on setting. In recent months, I tried to switch to overhand serving, and I saw it improve, but I earned myself a tendinitis. I thought not playing during the summer break would undo the setback, but the pain is not completely gone, it comes back if I am not cautious. Caution includes no overhand serves and no real hits. I've been hitting flat, to prevent any shoulder rotation. So this will take me a while, presumably much longer than tango, to become an advanced participant.
