Celebration at the end of the volleyball season

trophy,
originally uploaded by bernd ploderer.

Yesterday my club (Melbourne Renegades) celebrated the end of the Victorian state league season. We had a fancy dinner and a few selected players received awards, e.g. for the MVP (most valuable player - which I was not :) However I was very proud to receive the prize of the Most Improved Player (MIP) for the Men's Honours team. My coach obviously meant that I made the biggest improvement of all players in the team, which is a big honour for me. But since I started really badly in the first game, I had enough room to improve afterwards (and I think in the last game I played really good :)

I also received the "Golden Fist Award", which is a fun award for the player with the best celebration in a game. I'm usually a quiet guy, but in games I can get very emotional and jump around and yell :)
