Not a lot happened last week so I decided to combine my post with this week too. Last week was the same old stuff, but this week we officially started team practices! Not only that, but this week was Homecoming week. Last Sunday the fun-filled week began with an event called “H2O Splash”. It was a big event with slip n slides, water slides, water balloons, snow cones, cotton candy, and so much more. Also, there is a tradition where teams and clubs from the University each paint a square on the sidewalk, so when the H20 event ended all the guys on the team got together and painted our square. Thursday was the Balloon Glow, which is where everyone gets together to hangout, play in bounce houses, and watch hot air balloons do a light show. Unfortunately, the wind was so strong that the balloons had to be taken down. Saturday afternoon was the football game and we grilled out and played bags and then around 9:00pm we went to a stand up comedy show. Today, Sunday, I’m just cleaning my dorm room, and watching some practice film, doing homework, and relaxing before another busy week of school.

Week 1
Hey everyone! Week 1 is complete and there was so much happening. We officially got started with volleyball and have been working hard to get ready for the upcoming season. After a good week of workouts we had to work the Iowa Football game on Saturday for one of our team fundraisers. Doesn’t sound that bad does it? If you call waking up at 1:45am, working all day, then driving back around midnight not that bad, then yeah it was great. Sunday was a nice relaxing day off and Monday we started with individual practices. This week we will continue with practice and workouts Monday- Friday and Saturday we will be going to work the Iowa State vs. Iowa Football game.
The Journey Begins
Thanks for joining me!
Throughout the year I will hopefully be posting pictures, videos, blog posts, etc. once a week just to keep everyone up to date on what’s happening in my life. I’m really excited to get this journey started and to share my experiences as a college athlete!
Sincerely,
Thomas Robson
