A Day in the life of a Club volleyball player

 In this post I'm going to break down the average day at a tournament for club. I have been doing club for years now and have been to quite a few tournaments and a few nationals. (This perspective will be from a hotel not just from my home)(Early Morning games)

Morning:

So lets start in the morning i wake up depending on when the games are early or sometimes ill sleep in if they are later. Typically the first thing I do is just sit upright and take a few breaths getting adjusted to waking up. After my short meditation I set out all the uniforms and all the things I will need for the day on the hotel bed in a neat folded pattern. After setting aside the thing and clothes I will need, I take a nice warm shower. After my shower I get into my uniform, make sure i have all my shoes snacks and anything I'm going to need while at my games. After i leave the room I go down to the continental breakfast if they have it and grab a nice healthy meal full of fruits yogurt and proteins. Then I make my way to the convention center.

Afternoon:

Most of the afternoon is just playing games and reffing so there isnt much to do. Occasionally I will grab a snack or water from my bag and eat it. Most of the time is spent talking to my teammates and just waiting if we are not playing. After the tournament games we either head back to the hotel or we go get food.

Evening:

It depends where we are and how close we are to restraunts and activities. Sometimes we go to mueseums or smokehouses or parks or just walking the city. These activities or food end up lasting most of the night. It is super fun just bonding with my dad and my teammates.

So thats basically a day in the life of a club volleyball player most the stuff you do in the day will most likely be based on where your tournament is so that is a major factor on how your day will pan out.
