This has taught me to try different approaches to improve my game. I spend a lot of time all year playing volleyball, doing drills, lifting and conditioning with great coaches and teammates who push me to keep improving.”
Q) What is your most favorite thing about the club volleyball season?
A) “My favorite thing about club volleyball is hanging out with my teammates and getting to know them. Three day tournaments are my favorite because we spend so much time together and I have made many good friends over the years.”
Q) Favorite way to waste time and why?
A) “I love to read for enjoyment and do jigsaw puzzles. My favorite thing to do is lay by the pool with a good book in the summer. I love it when my parents or friends read the same book I’m reading so we can talk through the novel.”
Q) Best team bonding tradition you’ve experienced?
A) “The best bonding tradition I’ve experienced with my teammates is playing “Mafia”. Mafia is a card game that we really get into: there is a lot of laughter, screaming, and funny accusations. It is always a great time.”
