I am competing in the 12th annual VTV9 Binh Dien Cup hosted in Tam Ky, Quang Nam Province, Vietnam with a team put together by my agency, Bring It Promotions. We are the first team to represent the United States in volleyball in Vietnam!
Game day number two! This time, an extra early morning practice: 7:30 instead of 8:30. After training, I did some work at my favorite spot in the hotel: the 20th floor. Not only is the wifi much better up here, but there’s a bar that can supply all my coffee needs and a killer view.
In the second match versus Almaty (Kazakhstan), we really came together and executed as a team. Their style of play was much more similar to what we are used to, but our servers also really did a fantastic job. We were connecting at all levels in every skill. It was really fun to be apart of. Serve receive, defense, blocking, setting, hitting; all cylinders were firing. We won the match 3-0 and the final set was a blowout at 25-10. We are officially in the semi-finals on the 19th! It was another great day.
