3am alarm. 8pm home. Every minute in between was worth it.
It was a full day on the U of L volleyball documentary. It started before sunrise filming the coaches' workout. These coaches do hard things, just like their players do.
Then came the interviews, first with the coaches, then in the dorms with the players. Getting to hear their stories, where they come from, all the different backgrounds and everything it took to make this team, is the reason I do this. Fans see the games. They don't always get the journey behind them.
I didn't make it home from the long drive until 8pm. My girls got to stay up past bedtime to greet me since I was leaving on a trip the next morning. Best part of the day.
That's what telling someone's story looks like. Long days, a lot of miles, and I wouldn't trade any of it.
Follow along. More from this one soon.
