Passion in Three Touches

My name is Mariagracia Nuñez Murriagui; I am 14 years old, and today I am going to talk to you about my favorite sport: volleyball. Volleyball is much more than just a sport to me; it is one of my greatest passions. From the moment I touch the ball for the first time in a match, I feel a unique connection with the court and my team.

I love the adrenaline rush of jumping for a spike, the absolute focus required to receive a difficult serve, and the indescribable satisfaction of pulling off a perfect block. It is a game of split seconds, where every movement counts and the mind must remain as cool as the body is active.

What captivates me most about volleyball is the true teamwork involved. In this sport, no one can win alone; we rely on mutual trust, constant communication, and supporting each other on every point, regardless of whether we are winning or losing. Every match teaches me about discipline, resilience, and camaraderie. Volleyball allows me to disconnect from the world and fills me with an incredible energy I can't find anywhere else.

The first time I stepped onto a volleyball court, I didn't quite know what to expect, but that day is etched in my memory as the beginning of a great passion. At first, everything seemed like a chaotic blur of rapid movements, the loud sound of balls hitting the floor, and players running back and forth.

I remember perfectly the mix of nerves and excitement as I stepped onto the court. The ball felt heavy, and my arms turned bright red from those first few receptions, but my desire to keep playing was stronger than the pain. It didn't matter if I missed a serve or if the ball didn't go exactly where I wanted; every time I managed to get the ball over the net, I felt an incredible rush of adrenaline. The best part was discovering, right from that first moment, the magic of celebrating a point as a team and feeling the support of others realizing that out there, no one plays alone. When the match ended tired and with my arms marked from the impact I knew I never wanted to stop playing.

That’s all for now; thank you very much for reading.

    The red arms being like your first volleyball badge of honor. That moment when you know you're coming back despite the pain, that's the sign

    The 'chaotic blur' part, because it's exactly that first time feeling when everything is new and overwhelming, but then you want to do it again. That's the sign

    That realization from your first time on court: that you can't do it alone and don't want to. Most people take way longer to get there. You already know what teamwork means

    That first moment when you got on the court and realized this was it: no one plays alone, and that feeling is everything. Really glad you're here. If you write more about volleyball or anything else, you could create a series and we can follow along :)

  • Does splitting 'hard' and 'soft' skills make people worse at both?

    Hard skills are measurable, specific, and teachable abilities or technical knowledge gained through education, training, or experience, which is often directly related to a particular job or industry. Examples include data analysis, programming, graphic design, accounting, dancing, painting… They are usually the core of a profession, particularly the part of it excluding interaction with other people.

    I realize, interacting with students, teenagers and younger co-workers peers that many believe that their personality traits are a leading factor in deciding what do to or how to tackle their own career. Although younger people ask these questions more explicitly, older adults also seem to think along the same lines. I personally find it to be far more irrelevant than most people think.
