💡 Game You’re Proud Of

The part of the game that I am most proud of currently is my communication on the court. The connection I have built as a libero with my setter has really helped me understand the game of volleyball at a deeper level and has not only helped me, but has also benefited my hitters by getting them the sets they need. To add on, my ball control has also increased as I have practiced keeping a strong, positive mindset during the game and staying calm under pressure. With these skills, I have noticed a change in my passing. With good passing and ball control, I feel like it has helped me stand out as a more consistent passer and more people noticing the pass before the hit. At every level, passing controls the game. A hitter can’t get a good hit without the pass, and with good ball control, you can help your team succeed. The quote “A great passer creates points for the entire team” is something I refer to and stand by when passing.

📲 Why This Post Mattered

When I got featured on PrepDig CA, I felt like it was an amazing opportunity for me and my athletic goals, as it gave me more exposure on social media. Social media is an important tool that athletes are using now to expose their game and skills that not all see. This exposure helped not only my followers see my work, but also allowed other coaches and clubs to see the extra reps being put in on and off the court. When creating the post, I wanted to show others that my teammates and I in the video will always put in the extra effort to get better. I think it’s important for young athletes to show their work and expose themselves to show the world the extra reps being put in.

🧠 What Coaches Should Know

Something I want college coaches to know about me is that I will always put in 110% effort into everything I do. When on the court, I always make sure to maintain focus during the game no matter the circumstances. I am a really dedicated athlete, and I am always willing to learn and try new things to help improve my skills. If there is something I am struggling with, you will definitely see me on the court working hard to improve that skill. Not only do I put a lot of effort into the game of volleyball, but I also put a lot of effort into academics. I always strive to maintain strong grades while taking Honors and AP classes as a freshman.
