Volleyball to me is more than a sport. Volleyball is family, a privilege, and an opportunity to help myself along with others reach towards something bigger and greater than ourselves. I strive to grow not only as a player, but as a person. Volleyball can be very challenging, however, so can the real world — I hope to motivate myself, inspire teammates, and along the way, gain insight from opposing teams. My goal is to better myself in all aspects so I can aid in making my teammates shine. Being a great athlete isn't only about your talent, it's about how you handle hardship and how hard you push yourself even when everything around you seems impossible. As an athlete and as a human, I consistently work to maximize on the potential of my ability, learn from my mistakes, and not only wanting to get better at my craft for my advantage, but for my teammates as well.
