and I am a 5’11 all-around PIN hitter on
Marin Juniors
15 Black. I love learning and currently have a 4.0 GPA at San Francisco University High School, where I was selected to play at the Varsity level my freshman year! I’m in my third year of playing club volleyball, and this is my second season at
Marin Juniors
. Last year, my team won the Spokane Qualifier in the Liberty division. This year, we placed second and won a bid at Red Rock Rave in Las Vegas.
What sets me apart on the court is my vigor, mental toughness, ability to anticipate on defensive, and strategic decision-making when attacking. This season, I’m most proud of my improvement in mental toughness. When sets get tight, I swing away and on serve receive, I tell myself, “Bring it.” Another standout skill is my ability to see the court in front of me. I’ve trained hard to recognize where to put down a ball (whether it’s sharp cross or hard line). When tipping or rolling, I look for our opponent’s seams or avoiding their most confident passer on the court.
Overall, my love for the game is what keeps me going. I get up early on weekends to workout with my trainer or take part in a hitting clinic or private lesson. When there’s a specific part in my game that I feel needs to be developed, I put in the extra time to improve that skill. Every week, I’m consistently at practices and the pre-workouts, showing up with a positive and supportive attitude, and determination to give 100% every time. My passion for volleyball is what inspires growth in my game, whether it’s the drastic change in my vertical since last year, more power in my hits, or my mental game on and off the court.
Today, I am currently working on my block timing (connections with my team’s middle blockers), quick reactions in defense (reading the hitter’s arm swing) and continuing to find areas to hit or place the ball around the block. I still have a lot to learn but I’m ready for the challenge ahead. Provided to Michelle Bamford @ PrepDig
