Charlotte came to the Sophomore ID Showcase with the ability to contribute at both the middle blocker and outside hitter positions and she used the full day to demonstrate that the versatility is genuine. Her blocking technique was one of the things court coaches zeroed in on early, noting the purposeful angle of her close and the patience she showed waiting for the right moment to commit rather than leaving her feet too soon. Timing is one skill that doesn’t get worked on enough but will be one of the most impactful in a blocker’s arsenal.  You can easily tell that Charlotte focuses a lot on when to leave the ground in order to press over the net as the hitter is making contact with the ball. When she transitioned to the outside, her approach was smooth and her arm swing showed the kind of relaxed mechanics that generate power without sacrificing accuracy. Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase.
