I said NBC

My body has been recuperating from NBC volleyball camp.  After coaching at the week long volleyball camp for 4 summers, I thought it was time for me to step it up and become the master teacher for the younger league (ages 11-14).  Master teacher means you are the head coach with 3 or 4 coaches under your wing with 40 girls in your league.  Before camp started, I was nervous and scared that I wouldn't do a good job.  Now that I reevaluate how I did, I must give myself a pat on the back, for doing awesome!  Coaching 40 girls in a gym is not easy, but I did it, and I had a lot of fun.  I can now plan a 3 hour practice in less than 15 minutes, instead of all day.  Every year, NBC camp has been a hit and success.  The highlight of my summer to share my passion with other volleyball girls.  Not only that, but I get to be as crazy and loud as I want to be while getting paid.

I definitely lost my voice and my throat is still trying to heal.  I did a speech on a topic on humility and knocked it out of the park.  I was nervous, but I typed my speech up to help me.  Speaking in front of teenagers, isn't what worries me, it is speaking in front of adults in the room is what makes me nervous.  I was proud of myself, especially when the girls/ fellow coaches told me I did a good job.  Boosted my confidence, that is for sure.  It made me feel like I can do a lot more than I think I can.  I was just happy to hear that the girls learned about humility and thinking of others instead of themselves.  Rock on.

I got to work with amazing coaches, just like every year.  NBC is always blessed with the best line up of coaches.  I never worked with the coaches before, but we seemed to cooperate like we have known each other before.  I am proud of my coaches for being considerate and always down to do whatever I plan.  I hope I was a good leader to the coaches in my group too, on top of the girls I coached.  I had a lot of great times laughing with them.  I seriously think I got some extra ab muscles just from laughing alone.  The 6:45am - 10:30pm shifts are over, but it sure feels like forever when you are running camp.  The minimal sleep is so worth all the experiences you get out of NBC camp.  I will never forget the girls, the coaches, the skits, the speeches, and all the fun that came with it!

After the week of camp which ran from Monday to Friday, Cory took us out to sushi.  All I wanted to do was stay home and be a couch potato.  I was mentally and physically exhausted.  Just burned out.  We watched the Mechanic with popcorn and fire hot cheetos..and called it a night.

On Saturday, we had a photoshoot to do with married couple, Jen & Jeff.  Check out Epic Photography AK for the photos!  I am happy that the photos turned out great at botanical gardens.  There was a wedding going on there, but we waited patiently to use one of the gardens there.

I am going to close this entry now because I have a dentist appointment :)  Love getting my teeth cleaned.  We are heading out to Denali this Friday for the 4th of July weekend.  Going to be fun camping hardcore!

My dental hygienist told me that she admired my flossing and brushing skills and in her thanks, she gave me a free SONICARE toothbrush!! I am so grateful for I have wanted one for a while..but never got around to it.  Thank you Tudor Medical/Dental for hooking me up :)
