About Payten

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style in volleyball is focused, strategic, and team-oriented. I like to stay aware of the court, communicate constantly, and balance power with control, whether it’s serving aggressively, setting up plays, or defending with quick reflexes.

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

My mentality is competitive but positive. I always aim to improve, stay motivated, and support my teammates. I stay calm under pressure, learn from mistakes, and bring good energy to keep the team focused and confident.

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

Ive been involved with girl scouts, and HOSA.

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

Through volleyball, I’ve developed strong teamwork and communication skills, as well as leadership by helping organize plays and encouraging others on and off the court. I’ve also learned discipline, perseverance, and the importance of supporting a positive team environment.

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

Yes, I’ve faced challenges with negative coaches who focused more on criticism than encouragement. At first, it affected my confidence and made it hard to enjoy the game, but over time I learned to stay mentally strong, focus on self-improvement, and use their negativity as motivation to prove my ability and grow as a player.

What type of college are you looking for?

Colleges close to home and having a good pre-med program

Goodman is a great leaders on the court for 17 Elite. Goodman makes the simple passes, consistently squaring up balls and making nice adjustments for good passes. She does a great job stopping in her tracks prior to making those passes. Goodman has been using that solid platform to take better angles to the targets. Goodman said she absorbed a lot of powerful hits off her arms for two to three-point passes throughout the weekend.
