Margherita Bianchin gives us a report of what "her" overseas championship was up to 2020.
After a few weeks of competition, there aren't many surprises in the AVCA (American Volleyball Coaches Association) ranking of college women's beach volleyball teams. As expected, the ranking is dominated by Florida State and USC (University of Southern California).
Margherita and Federica have been the main couple of Florida International University for almost four years. United on and off the court, they have always made their friendship and armony their winning weapon. Together, they have won two All-American titles and boast an historic participation in the NCAA finals. Their paths split up due to the pandemic.
Let's continue with some suggestions regarding the much feared SAT. The fundamental thing to always keep in mind when preparing and trying to take these tests is one: they do not measure a student's intelligence nor do they predict his/her future successes (or failures).
Founded in 1965, Florida International University is the largest University in South Florida, the second in the state and the fourth in the entire United States for the number of students. An academic reference point for the territory, it welcomes over 41,000 students from all over the United States and the world.
«Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans».
This quote seems to be perfect to tell Alessia Venturelli's American adventure.
New departures for Sportlinx360 for Spring 2021.
Actually, two athletes have already landed in the States a few weeks ago. We are talking about Ruxandra Flueras who is already training with the women's volleyball team of Colby Community College, Kansas, ahead of the official start of the new NJCAA season.
It is with great joy that we announce the decision of the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) board members, which met last December, to add 4 sports, including men's volleyball, following a survey that evaluated those that have increased interest. Along with volleyball, cheer, target shooting and women's wresling were also selected "emerging sports".
Filippo told us about his experience so far at Life University, between his studies in Business Administration and rugby.
You arrived in America after a few summer experiences. When did you start thinking about this experience and what was your athletic and linguistic journey ?
In American culture it is very important to show recognition for the achievement of a goal or a performance: from the workplace to the studies up to the sports field.
As it can be seen in many US-made movies and TV series (the most recent one "All-American"), Americans aspire to receive these trophies and awards.
"The experience I had in the United States was unique and although it ended a year and a half ago, I often remember the most beautiful and intense moments I had in college. My academic path was very interesting and engaging and I had the opportunity to learn and work with professors among the best in their field: from Economics to Marketing, Finance, Management etc. I realize that I have acquired very specific skills, on a human and relational level, as well as professional.
