I then seen her passing with Coach Kiy, where she also impressed me with her hustle on defense. What impressed me most about Alba was seeing her get one more hit or one more set in during small downtimes.

PrepDig hosted its SoCal Preview in San Marcos, featuring an all-female coaching staff. As the tournament director, I carefully selected my coaches to create an empowering experience for young athletes. My goal was to fill the gym with women who have successfully navigated the same journey as the attendees, believing that some of the most qualified coaches are those who have done the hard work themselves.
