Annie Drews: "In Italy I was under stress, now I'm happy"
Link: www.volleynews.it/annie-drews-in-italia-ero-sotto-stress-ora-sono-felice/What will you do at the end of the Japanese championship? “ The V.League will end in February, then in the following weeks the Asian Club Championships are scheduled. Therefore, my plan is to stay with my team in Japan until the end of April and immediately afterwards join the US national team “. What memories do you have of your adventures in Legnano and Casalmaggiore? “ My experience in Italy has been really difficult, both because of what happened in the clubs I played for and because of my lack of maturity. It was the first time I played in Europe and I remember that in my mind I kept making comparisons with other players, without having faith in myself, and I was under a lot of stress ... Despite this, that season made me realize how much I care about this sport, and it was useful to grow as a player and as a person: I left Italy much stronger than when I arrived “. What is the biggest dream for the rest of your career? “ Winning the gold medal at the Olympics. The United States women's national team has never achieved this result, so I will do everything to help the team achieve it ”.

I can see JT Marvelous facing Tianjin in the Asian Club Championships finals. Will be interesting how Drews can hold up against Ting now. It will be tough since Tianjin is obviously more loaded as a team, much more with Ting.

I don't get why Drew's agent "sent" her in those 2 teams in Italy. Also Mister Karch and his staff should suggest American rookies better

It will be tough since Tianjin is obviously more loaded as a team, much more with Ting. If the Chinese NT is already training by this time I doubt they will let Tianjin players go to participate in this tournament, especially Zhu who they will want to keep as healthy as possible for the Olympics.

Also Mister Karch and his staff should suggest American rookies better What? Players like Drews or Alhassan joined teams that had already a bad reputation in Italy. I was thinking that it could be important to give good advices to the( in this case American) players before they signed those contracts

Sorry I only follow Stanford and the teams they beat. Which is why you probably don’t remember Purdue.
