Fint won an Amateur Athletic Union 15 Aspire Division championship with the KIVA 15 Black team last summer. However, she decided to just take lessons with former University of Kentucky player Alli Stumler-Linnehan this spring and Fint said that’s helped her get back to a positive mindset. Fint said Stumler’s helped her keep her confidence up, take coaching and move on. Fint added she rested because she threw out her back during the high school season in addition to going to physical therapy for it. Fint has primarily been a setter, but Stumler has helped her with strength training and agility because Fint might have to hit for Western Hills this fall with new head coach Kelci Turner.
