Eaken takes fans behind the scenes at preseason camp.
 "Hey Cards fans!
Â
 It's Kali Eaken here! We just finished day three of our preseason. We had a pretty long day today but it went very well! It started out with a early wake up call and team breakfast at 7 am! Our awesome nutritionist, Nick, hooked us up with some delicious breakfast to get our day started!
After that the setters, (Morgan, Lyndsay and I) go down a little early for a little extra setting reps so we are ready to go for practice! This is one of my favorite parts of the day because this is where I feel a lot of progress being made in my setting. By 8:30 we were in full swing of practice!
We worked on a lot of ball control this morning and some serving! After practice we rushed over to the Marshal Center for our lift! Following lift, it was time for my favorite part of the day... Lunch. We have this new absolutely amazing training table that we now get to eat at called Thorntons! After lunch we get a little down time where a lot of take naps and get our treatments in with our trainer, Nicole!
Once 3 p.m. rolled around, the setters were back in the gym for some more reps with practice following shortly after! We had some awesome people in our gym today. Our boosters and season holders joined us for practice today! These are some of our best supporters and it was great to have them in our gym today!
Our afternoon practice started out with a lot of defensive work and passing and then we got straight into scrimmaging! After practice we did our post practice cool down with some foam rolling and our favorite.... Ice baths.. :) Â Brrrrr!Â
Â
We finished the night with dinner at Thornton's Center and an educational session over our blocking systems!
Overall it was a great day three! Â Our team has been working our tails off the past few days, and it's been an amazing gym culture to play in. I'm so excited for this season with this team. It's gonna be a good one!!

Kali out!
