Hi guys, my name is Yana. I am the court coach for Venice High volleyball at Auburn team camp. I was born in Bulgaria and played volleyball in the United States a few years ago. Last year I played the FIVB pro-beach tour in hopes to qualify and represent my country in the Olympics. I am currently coaching at the University of South Alabama. Well, I did not make it to the Olympics but made it to team camp at Auburn where I met the Venice High Volleyball team. I have enjoyed every moment coaching them and look forward to seeing them excell at the college level. I feel that their determination will take them far and as a coach I saw it in all they do, even last night when they had to eat a whole watermelon without using hands to get second in the Auburn Amazing Race out of 22 teams. Good luck this fall lady Indians !
Tonight at the Auburn Team Camp, Venice placed 2nd out of 22 teams in the Auburn Amazing Race. . Teams had to get clues around the campus of Auburn and solve the riddle to get to the next clue. Stops like Jordan Hare stadium, Samford Hall, Toomers corner, etc. When a team would roll (toilet paper) Toomers corner, they were finished. But there were roadblocks along the way like eating a watermelon as a team. Teams had a great time bonding w/ one another and havin fun. Pictures to follow
A good team player at Venice is...... 1. Gives 100% 2. Shows courage off the court 3. Makes no mental mistakes 4. Cares about the team above all else 5. Demonstrates loyalty to all

It. Some teams have it. Some don't. Most teams want it. Few have it. When a team has it. EVERYONE can tell. And when one doesn't........everyone can tell.
