Cadence Talaga Cadence Talaga 5'6" | DS/L Long Beach Poly | 2029 CA , a 2029 libero from SC Rockstar 15 Carlos, saw her serve receive take a big step forward at NTDP. “By improving my technique and court awareness, I became more confident in handling tough serves,” she said. “In the upcoming season, I will use this skill to keep our team in system and create scoring opportunities.”

The pillar of Mind had the biggest impact on Cadence during the training series. “The training series challenged me to stay focused, think critically during fast-paced situations, and make smart decisions under pressure,” she explained. “I learned the importance of mental preparation, staying composed during tough moments, and constantly analyzing the game to improve my performance. This lesson will help me approach every practice and match with a clearer mindset and greater confidence.”

She was inspired by Annabelle Cummings, a fellow NTDP athlete. “Her confidence on and off the court was something I really admired. She played with assurance and never doubted herself, even in high-pressure situations. Watching her taught me that believing in yourself can elevate not only your own game but also inspire your teammates,” Cadence said. “From Annabelle, I learned that confidence is key to performing at your best and helping those around you feel capable too. This lesson has helped me focus on trusting my skills, staying composed during challenges, and being a supportive teammate.”

Travis Magorien from the University of Virginia made a lasting impression. “His approach to the game and focus on preparation really stood out. He always emphasized that success comes from the little details,” she shared. “What I will carry with me from Coach Travis is his guidance on staying consistent, being accountable, and working not only for myself but also to support and elevate the entire team.”
