THE PASSION
Photo: As a student I spend quite a lot of time at school working on my project and following my classes. It's therefore important to have an outside school activity that you enjoy and that can put your mind on something else. For me this outside activity is volleyball.
I've played lots and lots of beachvolley every summer since my first year at 6th form (high school), but I've never played "the real deal", the 6 man indoor sport.
Now I play for NTNUI Volleyball, "the best volleyball club in Norway" as they humbly state on their homepage.
It is great fun! I play on H2B, which when decrypted tells you that I play for the Men's Second team in the Second division.
I've decided to prioritize volleyball this season, above other outside school activities. I don't regret a bit! The team mates are great and it's fun to see how we progress as individual players, and as a team. I learn a lot at every practice.
The NTNUI Volleyball club is quite big with its 8 ladies teams and 5 men teams. This makes the atmosphere very good and the "Julebord", coming November 12th will be a huge event! Almost everyone on H2B will attend!
By joining the NTNUI Volleyball club I've met a lot of cool new people and I've taken a refereeing class, making me a Referee 1 Trainee. It'll be fun to see how my refereeing and playing career evolves!
Choosing volleyball as my outside-school-passion was a very good choice!
