In addition to refining my hitting and serving skills, I'm setting goals to enhance my passing in serve receive, and defense. Improving my reading of opponents' serves and enhancing overall court awareness is a key focus. Plus, I'm determined to work on my vertical jump to bring more power to my blocks and attacks.
