Payton Parsons '24 Recruiting Profile

Since I was 9 years old, volleyball has been the only way I have ever wanted to spend my life. Coming from a big softball/baseball family I was raised to only play softball but once volleyball caught my interest all I have ever wanted to do since was to play volleyball and have a future with it. This sport for the past 6 years has lead me to some of my highest points in my life and my lowest with a ligament injury my 8th grade year. With that, this sport has shown me that I can come back from anything as long as I put my mind to it and think positively which was important when I was going through the healing process to come back better; these have made me build new qualities of always wanting to push myself and the others around, I want everyone to be the best but I also never want someone to out work me, and I think that's why I am such a unique team player.
