Sorry to be reviewing so many Mizuno volleyball products these days! I am finally getting around to writing reviews on all of the great stuff I purchased from Hock Sports. Volleyball trends come and go, but one that I will probably not ever get past is the long socks. I love wearing long socks to…
Volleyball players are often torn on whether or not to wear knee pads. When I was younger, there were phases where it was “cool” or “uncool” to wear them. Do you get the “turtle shells?” How about the singular, smooth pads? The short kind or the long kind? Now that I’m older, and my knees…
Personally, I’m not a fan of sports bras that require too much fuss. The Ta Ta Tamer is super snug, which is great, but also super complicated. It has three hooks on the back, which seems to be a bit much. Honestly, two hooks can be too complicated at times, especially when you’re rushing to…

They were some sad Asics that I received as part of my coach apparel from the season when I coached a juniors club team. They’re not…
Judy, my teammate, nearly annihilated my other teammate (Jackie) and me a couple weeks ago. She gave us this jump training workout, and encouraged us to do it “in good health.” Note: I have linked to my google site. You can print the workout directly from the page if you would like your own copy….

As I stated in a previous post, my body has been ACHING from day after day of competitive volleyball.
