Owl Letters - Erica Brok
5/8/2020 1:00:00 PM | Women's Beach Volleyball
Collegiate athletics came to a halt in mid-March. With social distancing, remote work schedules and the inability to gather to cheer on our favorite teams, came a void. The void of seeing our favorite teams compete; the void of watching our favorite student-athletes grow and improve.
Florida Atlantic athletics recognizes that void and has seized the opportunity by providing an opportunity for fans to get to know the FAU athletes and coaches in a series called "Owl Letters." It is just one of the #WinningInParadise series that FAUSports.com will bring to you, our loyal fans.
Dear Beach Volleyball,
You have been in my life for a very short time. I have spent my whole life playing different sports until I finally found the one that I love. I cannot imagine my life without you. Thank you for not killing my body like the other sports did. You taught me the importance of hard work, patience, practice, determination, and time management. You pushed me out my comfort zone and have shaped me to become the woman I am today. Not being able to play in this quarantine has made me realize how much I miss you. And how much I miss all the early morning practices and even the very hot afternoon practices. I miss the feeling of happiness I get after completing every practice. I cannot wait to get to be able to play again. Thank you.
Erica
