She works super hard and is very competitive. She was very quick on her approach and got up to the ball and got kills before blockers could really react. She hits the ball hard, can spray it all over the court with accuracy. She is a MH/MB but appears to be able to play anywhere on the court. I saw her make soft passes, dig, defend, hit, block you name it. She was a force during gameplay getting kills over big front lines. Put her at a position and LET. HER. WORK! She received the Avoli Committed Athlete Award at the event!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watch what [player_tooltip player_id='629993' first='LEILA' last='TAYLOR'] can do here: <a href="https://youtu.be/xQzVqTxsW4U?si=d8MvemrJpeFyzzUq">https://youtu.be/xQzVqTxsW4U?si=d8MvemrJpeFyzzUq</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><b>[player_tooltip player_id='629993' first='LEILA' last='TAYLOR']</b>&nbsp;was the athlete we chose from the Prep Dig Exposure Tour Event in Illinois. She is a MB who caught my eye along with other coaches eyes while competing in drills, free play, and scrimmages. She personified was Avoli stands for and that's leadership, sportsmanship, and relentlessness. What I liked about her was how hard she was working. You could tell she is a competitor and was there to compete, but, at the same time had an exuberant attitude and everyone seemed to enjoy her company. She was refreshing and fun to watch. She exploded into her approach and exploded into her swings and kills. She used her explosiveness and quickness to her advantage at the MHMB position. A lot of times she was swinging before blockers could even get there. Impressive to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
