Playing Overseas by Alisha Glass

by Brynn Murphy on February 8, 2012

Hello all!! Playing volleyball overseas is definitely a blessing. You get to play the sport you love and travel to new places. However, sometimes, that travel is a little more of a burden than a blessing. For example, yesterday we left Sopot, Poland at 4:30am, drove to the Gdansk airport for a 6:30 flight. We flew the one hour it takes to get to Warsaw, which is a pretty big airport. We then had to walk around and find a transfer desk in order to get our next two tickets for the rest of our trip.

2012! by Jordan Larson

But John Cusack was the bomb in that flick yo…not to mention his other numerical masterpiece, 1408, naturally. Will he ever outdo himself in High Fidelity or Being John Malkovich?

Champions League by Ryan Millar

by Brynn Murphy on January 12, 2012

It has been a great December and beginning of January for my club team here in Russia. Over the holiday season, we won for the second time in a row the coveted Russian Cup. With this win, we automatically qualify for a spot in next seasons Champions League. For a team that is playing in its first Champions League this season, the opportunity to play two years in a row is quite the accomplishment. I want to congratulate all my teammates and coaching staff on playing so well and working so hard. We had a nice Christmas dinner (you have to realize that Christmas i...

Hello from Poland! by Alisha Glass

by Brynn Murphy on January 9, 2012

Hello from Poland friends!!! I am currently playing professionally in Sopot, Poland. I've just gotten settled in and I'm getting to know my coaches and teammates. We have girls from all over, Megan Hodge from USA is on my team, two German players, a girl from Spain, and a girl from Turkey. Our coaches are Italian and it's amazing how much English everyone knows. I am trying to learn a little Polish to meet the girls halfway, but I can tell you it's a very complicated language. We're in Champions League which means we play teams outside...
