Pallavolo Update

Tue Dec 07 13:59:00 -0500 2010

Dec. 7, 2010 After arriving 11 days ago in Italy, I have already played 3 matches. Jetlag...what's that? I got off the plane Saturday afternoon (November 20th), and left for Poland Monday morning (November 22nd). Possibly had the highest scoring match of my life with 4 aces, 2 blocks, and 1 kill. I… Read More

Final 4 of the World Championship

Fri Nov 12 22:11:00 -0500 2010

Nov. 12, 2010 Wednesday we battled a tough match against Brazil coming out a little short with a 3-1 loss to them. If we would have won we were automatically in the Final 4. But since we lost...we had to wait for the results of the Cuba/Italy match. Unfortunately that match was the last one of the… Read More

One Down...One More to Go

Tue Nov 09 15:13:00 -0500 2010

Nov. 9, 2010 Tonight was one of our more crucial wins of the tournament so far. Without tonight's win we would have made it very difficult on ourselves to make it to the top 4. But...we came out on fire and played some good volleyball. USA def. Netherlands 25-17, 25-22, 25-18 To read Lindsey's… Read More

A Lil Bump...

Nov. 8, 2010 Sorry for the two day break from blogging. Not as easy at this stop for me to be on the computer. But here is a little update... We came out strong our first match against Czech Republic. We were prepared for them to come out banging with a lot of confidence after beating Italy, and… Read More

Shoe Obsession

Fri Nov 05 12:38:00 -0400 2010

Nov. 4, 2010 Since we have a couple days off from playing I thought I would blog about my shoe obsession. First of all my preferred volleyball shoe would be the Mizuno Wave Nexus 3. I have been playing in this shoe or a version of this shoe since I joined the national team. It is not a volleyball… Read More

That was a Close One...5-0

Wed Nov 03 11:01:00 -0400 2010

Nov. 3, 2010 What a win tonight!!!!! Cuba is always dangerous and they proved that once again tonight. After being down the first set and coming back to win, then having a tight second set and pulling it out...Cuba did exactly the same in the 3rd set. We definitely blew it being up 12-4 or so...but… Read More

4-0

Wed Nov 03 04:29:00 -0400 2010

Nov. 3, 2010 Last night we beat Kazakhstan in straight sets. Unfortunately, I don't have many highlights or genius commentary from the match. We did what we had to but have yet to reach our highest level of play. But like I said before...in this type of tournament a win is a win and that's what we… Read More

3-0

Mon Nov 01 10:33:00 -0400 2010

Nov. 1, 2010 Not only did we get a big 3-0 win over Germany on Sunday...we are now 3-0 in the tournament. Going into Sunday's match we were fully prepared to battle with Germany. They have some talented players on their squad and knew we would have to be disciplined and alert to get the job done.… Read More

But for the next 16 days I will be blogging about World Championship. I took most of the summer off from USA Volleyball trying to get… Read More

Holy Ferrari

Fri Apr 09 10:47:00 -0400 2010

Last week we got the opportunity to visit one of our sponsor's friends that has a garage full of Ferraris. It was amazing...not only are there the cars, but the garage looks like a showroom with all different types of pictures, and collectables...absolutely ridiculous. What an expensive hobby. Maybe… Read More

Two More Wins

Wed Mar 10 21:25:00 -0500 2010

Unfortunately I have been slacking once again on the updates. Fortunately I have a lot to report...and all good news. Two sundays ago we went on the road to Piacenza. This team started out the season a little slow but were on a 3 game winning streak and were trying to get their 4th win against us.… Read More

Inauguration Highlights

Sat Mar 07 18:33:00 -0500 2009

There has been a rumor going around that I went to the same high school as President Obama. So I just wanted to clear things up and tell everyone the rumor is absolutely true. Obama and I were both very fortunate to go to Punahou School in Honolulu, HI. As we all know this Presidential Election was… Read More

Times to Remember

Back to NY...Just a little more about Jack's fundraiser. The fundraiser was a success in many aspects. Hosting the party was Marion Barber, a college friend of mine, giving individual, and one of the best running backs out there. The foundation raised a good amount of money to continue… Read More

Rewind...

Mon Mar 02 10:32:00 -0500 2009

I want to rewind back to Wednesday...Part 2 of my photo shoot.  Part 2 was a little easier then part 1, and turned out a lot better.  The pictures from the second day were definitely my favorite and can't wait to share them.  They are pretty artistic and edgy.  Overall, I had… Read More
