BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ITALY AND THE U.S. |
The time change |
Everything is smaller in Italy than the U.S. |
The people were very accepting and friendly even though we didn't speak Italian. Also, all the castles and cathedrals in every village, much different than anything here
|
The small streets and of course the views and the people |
The food variety and language |

HOW THIS TRIP AFFECTED YOU AS A TEAM |
We grew together and got closer |
We became much closer and the team bond is stronger |
It definitely brought us closer. Most teams only play three games over a longer trip. We played five and three of them back-to-back-to-back. To do this while in a foreign country, time zone and eating different foods is no easy task for even a veteran team. I feel like we performed well and bonded through adversity
|
Positively. More appreciative for the life back home and to see things here before us that are probably going to be here after us is huge |
Made us closer and learn how to battle together on the court regardless of who's on the floor |
Built a lot of team chemistry |
