16- Training

~Your POV~

"LETS GO LETS GO!! PUSH YOURSELVES! YOU'RE NOT GIVING UP YET" Coach yelled as we were running our 50-yard sled drags. 

"I CAN'T DO IT" Hanako yelled as she dropped to the ground. I dropped my rope and ran over to her. "Hanako you can do this. I know how badly you want to win. To prove yourself to your family. We're in this together. So give me your hand!" I said as I helped her off the ground. I ran back to where my sled was and picked the rope back up, taking off in a sprint.

I pulled ahead of the girls as I pushed myself to the limit."NOW THAT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Coach yelled as I crossed the goal line. Once everyone finished they were surprisingly still standing.

My alarm went off at 4. I was finally back at my own house, in my own bed. I slapped the clock as it continued to buzz and got up, putting my hair up and pulling on my practice clothes. Practice begins at 4:30, starting off with a 5-mile run. After that, we hit the weights, maxing out our bench presses and squats. 

After the boys match today, we're going back to practice and running another 5 miles. We'll do 100-yard sprints 10 times, then 100 burpees, 50-yard sled drags, and then we'll work on our position skills. 

I finished morning practice completely exhausted but the girls and I still wanted to go see Karasuno play Aoba Johsai. We hopped in the car and drove back to the gym they were at yesterday. 'Here comes Jigoko week' [hell week]

"LET'S GO KARASUNO!" We cheered from the stands."Did-he just pull off a setter dump? At the beginning of the game?"

"Jesus this is like a competition of the setters," Mika said. "I'm too tired to watch" Saki added. I got up from the stands and grabbed my wallet. "I'll go grab you guys some snacks and energy drinks, make sure to cheer for the boys," I said as I made my way down to the cafeteria.

I came back with my hands full of snacks and drinks when I saw Kageyama and Oikawa battling it out, ending in Kageyama falling. I sat back down and handed the girls their stuff when we swapped setters. 

"COME ON KŌSHI! SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS!!" 

"NICE RECIEVE DAICHI!"

"BLOCK IT TSUKISHIMA!!" 

"WAY TO GET UP THERE HINATA"

I could see Kōshi finally light up. The energy on our side lifted the moment he stepped on the court. We just needed to switch it up a little. 

"THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND!!" I yelled as Kōshi set Hinata for a quick attack. 

The first match ended with Seijoh winning but we put up a hell of a fight. Karasuno won the second. With Seijoh ultimately taking the third, 33-31.

"I'm sorry but you guys did so good!" I said trying to cheer them up, but despite my best efforts they still looked glum. "Y/N are you going to come out to the gym when we get back?" Hinata asked. I rubbed the back of my neck. "Sorry sunshine I have other things to do." I looked down at my watch. "Speaking of I better get going. Bye guys." I said running back to the car. 

In reality, the boys were shocked. I had never turned down the opportunity to hang out with them. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with them but right now we need to train. I need to train. 

Back at the school, we had finished up our official practice. Coach left but we stayed on the field. We stayed after to push ourselves.

"COME ON! JUST A LITTLE FURTHER" I yelled as we did another rep of sled drags. When we crossed the goal line the girls dropped to the ground. "I CAN'T DO ANY MORE!!" Kira groaned.

 "One more. Just one more." I walked over to where the girls were laying. "I know you girls are tired, I know you think you're at your limit. That limit, that exhaustion you feel, can be pushed. You CAN do it. You control how much you can take, so block out the pain, block out the exhaustion, whatever ails you. Get up and grab that rope, or quit now and wish you worked harder." 

We did 5 more reps, and surprisingly by the end, each of the girls had a smile on their face. We were tired but we felt- Invincible.
