About Morgan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a setter, I focus on giving the other side of the court. I focus on are they double blocking my middle, are they blocking cross or line, where is open and available to swing, is libero sneaking in and cheating in to cover a setter dump to the middle, or is the middle jumping with me. These are all questions I ask myself during games. I also try to not play in patters for the blockers to see.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I would say my mentality is to just be a DOG. Every time I step onto the court, I know that there is purpose in every rep or in games my goal is to make the other team respect me offensively and defensively. Outside of volleyball, I am a pretty outgoing person who loves to get to know people or try something new.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am currently not involved in any clubs, but throughout my recent middle school years I have been on honor roll each year. If my current high school gave these awards l am sure I would still be a part of honor roll.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I would say I have developed great leadership skills in the past few years. I have been a captain for two years in both club and school volleyball. My 7th grade year, I sat back and watched my team lose time after time due to not having a coach, but my 8th grade year I stepped up, coached my team, and helped us get to the semifinals. I also have a true passion for serving others.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

For the past 3 years, I have typically been on teams with girls that don't care about winning, don't care about getting better, or they just don't take it seriously. As someone who puts in a lot of effort to improve and grow on the court, this was very frustrating. But this year I had coaches who saw me, poured into me, and helped me grow. They taught me that all that matters is my effort.

What type of college are you looking for?

I would look for a program that isn't just volleyball. I would love to be part of a program that cares about each athlete, a program that the girls like each other, and just a program that takes it seriously but at the end of the day they just have fun.

Bonds displays great hands as a setter. She makes soft touches and does not lock her arms to get the most on balls. Bonds executes a variety of long and short sets and makes the most of out of system sets. Bonds provides sound net backup and makes nice first touches. Bonds even takes quality rips on the opposite side.
