The announcement hit Amelia like a physical push. "Amelia, we're shifting you to libero." A smile threatened to crack across her face, despite her best efforts to remain professional. She'd been a middle blocker, a great one, but this was a completely different challenge. A tingle ran through her veins, a feeling like she could conquer the world. She visualized herself flying across the court, diving for every ball, the unsung hero, the master of defense. She wanted to yell, to shout, to express the feeling that consumed her, but all she did was squeeze her hands into fists.
