Athletes Quote by Anonymous
“Yes, I'm a volleyball player. Yes, I play one of the hardest sports, even if there's no contact. No, I don't run up and down a court, but I do throw myself at balls going +50mph with nothing but kneepads. Bruises and burns appear after just one practice. And for all those people who say that volleyball requires no athletic ability, think again. I'd love to watch you play ONE club game. You wouldn't last 2 points.”
