ITALIAN WOMEN'S CLUB 2013 - 2014 THE DREAM OF FLYING
Milan . Federal Center of Volleyball.
Here live for most part of the year, 15 young athletes .
The girls come from different Italian regions, and they were chosen among hundreds of their peers
by the Federal Technicians that have detected
a potential to bring them in a position of excellence.
They have an average age of 16 and 18 years old and like most girls their age , the school
is a daily event , the high school, accountancy ... or other studies.
After the school , their life takes place in this center, which is a true sports college .
Their days are well structured : meals are organized into well-defined times
Their menu is prepared with care and personalized
, adapted to their adolescent development and the workload sports they will face in
the course of the day. In the Federal Center are also provided moments
of leisure . Most of the time is spent together with their
companions to which it is linked or for friendship or sharing of common interest for volleyball.
This does not detract from the ability to share relationships or interests , even outside
of the group. And no doubt about it that the possibilities offered by modern means of communication , they help a lot.
And then there's the time spent studying ... Volleyball yes, but the duties and obligations
are important things to which no one can escape .
And finally the sleep
The days follow one another with a life marked between the study and the sport of volleyball
. The gym becomes a second school , to deal with commitment and determination.
What drives these 15 girls in a choice of life so special ?
Are love and passion for volleyball, with the hidden dream to fly towards great horizons.
Day after day, under the watchful eyes of the coaching staff , the team grows and evolves
, even if sometimes the exuberance of youth and the desire to live take over and to technicians
don't remains is to give up and smile at the occurrence of these quiet moments of transgression.
But it is time to work .
How many talks , many suggestions during the afternoons spent in the gym to properly prepare
the individual and the team to learn the technique and to increase the independence and intelligence
to think as a team . The motivation , once called passion , is
constantly stimulated in these meetings. How many roles he held the technical manager:
professional ideas , programs, and projects, teacher , educator, psychologist , and finally
parent , knowing sustain even with severity , if necessary, and the eyes of the girls
are ready to capture all the nuances about personal technical improvement and teamwork.
How much effort and how much sweat. In the faces of these young people we read
all the determination and the will to achieve the proposed objectives during the sports
training. Looking at them carefully , you do not see the teenager but the athlete .
Repeat ... repeat .... repeat ...
And more .... ... repeat !
Try to reach that movement that enable automation in the competition of volleyball, to be always
in the right place at the
right time .
exercises and patterns repeated hundreds of times to try and reach the technical gesture
perfect.
The young athletes will have to first of all learn how to make team, to trust one another
in such a way that the success or defeat is experienced as a shared reality and all of
that are fully responsible.
See them plays seem butterflies that love enjoy themselves in the magical world of the
game.
Trying to make this gesture is never time wasted, the suffering and the fatigue of training,
lead them to dream and finally concretize all the work done during hours and hours of
training.
