"Play Every Play Like Your Last Because You Will Not Get This Opportunity Again"

If you've ever spent time reading the Volleyball Magazine Wisconsin boys volleyball discussion thread, you know it's a unique world of its own. There's usually a fair amount of friendly (and occasionally less-than-friendly) banter between players about who's the best at each position, which players are over- or underrated and, of course, who's a lock to win state.

Heartfelt emotion is rare. This is not a critique. It's just not how the thread is typically used. So we found it curious (and inspiring) this evening when someone identified as "Park Hi" with a "Northridge Volleyball" logo at the bottom of the post wrote these words:

"Remember to play your heart out every single play, whether you're down by 10 or up by 10. Play every play like your last because you will not get this opportunity again."

Fine stuff. Really fine stuff. Good luck to all the boys competing tomorrow night. And if you're free, you might even think about catching a match.

I think that is what they were hinting at. Notice the link to Parkhi which brings you to the all-state list which shows Cal-Northridge on it.
