The Final Tournament isn’t only about medals, but about the mirror in which we see ourselves as a team. After three matches in the “group of fire”, our record isn’t measured in wins, but in the huge progress and the precious lessons we take with us into the battles for places 5-8.
Close to perfection, but searching for tenacity
The last match against CSM Bucharest was a test of endurance. Losing sets 20-25 against a force from the capital shows that we are “there”, in the game. What we lack is the sporting experience that turns a good start into a glorious finish.
In these days we understood that tenacity isn’t inherited, it’s trained. Our girls have courage, technique and hearts as big as the court, but in moments of maximum pressure the “engine” needs fine-tuning to keep the necessary consistency.
Pierre de Coubertin’s lesson: “Did you win? Keep going! Did you lose? Keep going!” 🏛️✨
In these moments of reflection, we find ourselves in the words of the man who laid the foundations of modern sport. Pierre de Coubertin said:
“Did you win? Keep going! Did you lose? Keep going!”
This is our creed for the rest of the tournament. We don’t hang our heads because the scoreboard wasn’t on our side. On the contrary, we carry on with even more passion. Performing at the level of Romania’s top 8 requires the support of a sports psychologist to help the girls manage their emotions and build that “unbeatable” mentality. This is our investment in their future.
The mission continues: we fight for places 5-8! 🏟️💪
The tournament isn’t over! The placement matches are next, where the girls have the chance to put into practice everything they have learned. We no longer have the pressure of the group stage, just the joy of the game and the desire to show that we deserve to be here.
Heads up, girls! We are proud of you and, whatever the result, we carry on together towards top performance!🔴🟡🔵🇷🇴🏐
