We always enjoy seeing athletes travel to Arizona and take advantage of opportunities to showcase their talent, and Emily Dehart was a fantastic addition to the gym. She brought a high level of energy and competitiveness to every session while demonstrating a well-rounded skill set that allowed her to impact the game in multiple ways. Whether she was serving, defending, or handling the ball, Emily consistently showed that she could be relied upon to execute her role effectively and compete at a high level.

One of the first things that stood out was her heavy topspin serve. She generated excellent pace on the ball and consistently put pressure on opponents, forcing difficult passes and creating opportunities for her side to gain an advantage early in rallies. Beyond the service line, her ball control and consistent delivery allowed her to remain steady throughout the day. She played with confidence, stayed composed under pressure, and demonstrated the versatility that coaches value in athletes who can contribute in a variety of situations.

What impressed us just as much as her physical skills was her approach to the showcase. Emily was incredibly coachable throughout the event, embracing feedback and making adjustments almost immediately. Every time a coach challenged her to improve something, she responded with a willingness to learn and a determination to get better. That growth mindset, combined with her strong work ethic and positive attitude, allowed her to maximize every rep and make a lasting impression.
