, 2026: 5’9″ Outside Hitter for Colony
“I’m really pumped about this club volleyball season! The most exciting part about playing for a new team and club this season is the opportunity to build fresh connections with teammates and experience different coaching styles. I’m eager to learn new strategies, gel with a new group of players, and contribute my skills to the success of the team. It’s a chance for personal growth as I embrace the unique “We Are One” volleyball culture here at Apex1 Volleyball Club.
Personally, I’m aiming to improve my spiking accuracy and serve consistency. In addition to refining my hitting and serving skills, I’m setting goals to enhance my passing in serve receive, and defense. Improving my reading of opponents’ serves and enhancing overall court awareness is a key focus. Plus, I’m determined to work on my vertical jump to bring more power to my blocks and attacks. Also, I’m excited to strengthen my teamwork and communication on the court.”
