UConn Volleyball seems to always get in my facebook newsfeed as of late. I can't resist the temptation of seeing what they are doing. I am very very very very happy with a photo album I just saw of the team going around campus trying to sign people up to join the Block Party.
I like that they are proud of what they do. I like that they are taking the iniative themselves to get people interested in the team. Like it or not, it means 10x more to a potential fan to have an athlete ask them for their support than it does for someone else to...even if your not world champions and even if you ride the bench... It's even easier in college if your an athlete. If you carry yourself well and are friendly I doubt that an athlete would have too much trouble getting a lab partner, or a neighbor to check out atleast one game for a little bit...even if they don't like sports.
It's never good to be nice on the court, but it's always good to be nice to fans off the court.
If your not excited about your team and your sport than don't expect anyone else to be.
The Volleyball team does seem to be excited about their team and sport. I love the teams effort and I hope it pays off. College Volleyball is exciting and I hope others take notice and show up to Gampel to watch them play.
Couldn't agree more. And they just finished up a very exciting tournament. Unfortunately the last match was up against a soccer game and the football game, which is too bad because it was one for the books.
