Julia Stover '20 Recruiting Profile

I would tell you what I like best about volleyball, but it's everything. From the game itself to standing on the court with the teammates you've made connections with, learned their habits, bonded with. Standing on the court with them surrounding you as the anticipation grows and your heart starts to pound until the first whistle blows. The fans cheering, the talking on the court, cheering with your teammates when you get a point, or picking each other back up but still holding each other accountable. The feeling when you make the perfect set or get an amazing kill, or even a one of kind play. The adrenaline you feel on the court, and the satisfaction that comes from the hard work. practicing for hours upon hours, days upon days, weeks upon weeks, months upon months, and every game after till you're standing on the final stage knowing it was your hard work and your determination that got you there. Every game is an experience, whether we win or lose we learn. But all I know is I don't want to ever stop playing.
