Coach Kindle described her as an outstanding athlete who can be plugged into any role and execute when needed. Izzie was a constant presence, pushing teammates to be better through her energy, communication, and competitive consistency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Izzie shared that her strongest skills are out of system play and serve receive, and she showed confidence in both throughout the showcase. She is focused on being aggressive and intentional in serve receive while continuing to grow in the libero role after completing her first full club season at the position last year. Her personal goals include improving connection with setters, maintaining consistent energy, and helping guide her team toward a National Championship in 16 Open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even as a libero, Izzie sets high athletic standards for herself, noting that she has already touched 9'10.5 and aims to reach a 10-foot approach touch by graduation. Her mindset, versatility, and leadership made her the clear MVP of this court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["909680"],"_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-69430d47bf050"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='909680' first='Allison' last='Nantais']</strong> named Top Performer at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Mesa, AZ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allison stood out as one of the best teammates on the court. She adjusted quickly to every situation and was always focused on making the next ball better. Allison shared that her strongest skill is her volleyball IQ, especially as a middle blocker who reads plays early, times blocks well, and stays disciplined in high pressure moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She is working to improve her offensive speed and connection with setters through focused footwork, transition reps, and extra timing work. Allison's goals include becoming a consistent and reliable presence at the net while helping her team succeed at qualifiers and championships. A 4.8 GPA student with an interest in sports medicine, she also brings positivity, inclusivity, and steady encouragement that helped define the culture of this court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885554"],"_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-69430d47bf0a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='885554' first='Leilani' last='Alvarado']</strong> named Top Performer at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Mesa, AZ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leilani was the definition of a team player.
