Awareness and Effort: Impact Athletes at OK Exposure Tour

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Many volleyball players at the Oklahoma Exposure tour strutted their stuff this past weekend, but a few standout players positively impacted their teammates through court awareness and dedicated effort. As a player, you want to play with reliable, consistent, and attentive players, and these five athletes made the game easier for their teammates!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["610402"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693adfb2a43ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aliyah can do it all! She is a 6'1" setter and right side hitter who also plays great defense. Her court awareness makes her shine. She provides spot-on set placement, regardless of where she handles the ball. In the back row, she reads hitters well, giving her an advantage on defense, which is why she was able to dig back-to-back hits with grace and precision. No matter which touch, Aliyah betters the ball for her teammates to be successful!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["752753"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693adfb2a4469"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='752753' first='Desiyah' last='Williams'] is a front-row player who makes a big impact on her team through her communication and effort. She closes the block well; that, combined with her hang time, makes her a wall that the hitters struggled to work around. Her efficient communication supplemented her skills in the middle. Desiyah is vocal with her setter and supportive of her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740633"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693adfb2a4418"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='740633' first='Olivia' last='Shanahan'] showed up for her team at the Exposure Tour this weekend. She reads both hitters and servers well, putting her in a great position to execute her skills as a DS. I watched Olivia dive out of bounds twice to recover a block touch and a teammate's mishandled serve receive attempt. Olivia will sacrifice herself to keep the ball alive and her team in the game!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903043"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693adfb2a44b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prentiss was one of the youngest players on her court this weekend, but she stood out because of her coachability. Prentiss was working on the pin against a strong block, and the court coach gave her some feedback between rallies. Prentiss immediately converted the direction into a kill for her team. With good coaching, Prentiss will undoubtedly be a player to watch in the next several years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["752537"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693adfb2a44ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hitters should be intimidated by [player_tooltip player_id='752537' first='Madison' last='Campbell']'s textbook block. She makes defense a bit easier on her back row by setting up a reliable block and timing her jump well. Madison got several positive deflections that her back row turned into gold. She transitions well and finds the hole on offense. She is a young, disciplined player with tons of potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
