About Nalani

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I Have remarkable speed and agility. I am constantly described by my coaches and peers that I am extremely athletic, have explosive movements along with quick reflexes. I am known to consistently make plays in situations where most players would give up.

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

I bring a humble yet fierce mentality to the court. I’m always willing to learn and grow, respecting my coaches’ guidance and my teammates’ experience. Though I’m grounded, I have the heart of a champion, driven by a relentless desire to improve and contribute to the team. I approach each game with quiet confidence, knowing that hard work, and a team-first attitude will always win.

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

Member of Beta club.

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

I have developed strong leadership qualities through playing club volleyball at the highest level. I am known for inspiring and motivating my teammates, by leading by example on and off the court. I foster a positive atmosphere , encouraging others to push harder to reach their full potential.

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

As an eighth grader on a varsity volleyball team, I faced several challenges that pushed me to grow quickly. Competing against older, more experienced athletes was intimidating at first, and I had to work hard to prove I deserved my spot on the team. The pace and intensity of the game were faster than what I was used to, so I had to adapt quickly, learning to make faster decisions.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking a college that balances strong academics with a competitive athletic program, where I can grow both as a student and an athlete. I would like a great campus culture with a strong sense of community.

Derringer (pictured) dominates the front row with a spectacular vertical and quick arm swing. Derringer powers balls through blockers from the pins and middle. Derringer is especially tough on ones and gap shots. Derringer is also a solid blocker. Derringer will only improve with another strong club season.
