Aside from family life, hitting career goals and other grown-uppy stuff, I think my favourite years of my life was my late 20s. It was awesome playing volleyball 5 days a week with a crew of some of my favourite people - Ross, Sol, Peter, Keri, Andy, Jeff, Sieng, Maki, Phaedra, Gwyneth, Derek, Tomoko, Andie, Don, Ben, Alicia, Sean, Megan and obviously Jim. Long days playing doubles in the park with a couple nets, good food, patios, and good laughs. The perfect balance of free time, expendable money and youthful energy. Watching Jordan play volleyball has brought back some of my favourite memories on the court.
#1) R2s - probably my favourite format cause I’m not overly tall, never hit overly hard, hated blocking so this format eliminated some of those weaknesses. Also having half the court as girls keeps the testosterone levels down and a bit more friendly.
2) Specialized tournaments - under 6 foot and Asian invitationals were always great too. Same reasons as above except for the testosterone. Lots of pride in these tournaments but the level of ball was always scrappy and high.
3) travelling - whistler will always be my favourite but Kelowna was a close second. Travelling to Victoria, saltspring or anywhere was always awesome. Too many stories to tell and try to forget.
