stood out as one of the top performing outside hitters across the AVCA Phenom Clinics and Showcase, and her performance was no surprise. I have seen Payton play and develop on multiple occasions, and this weekend reinforced just how intentional she is about her growth. Her ability to process the game quickly, compete with discipline, and impact plays on both pins consistently separated her in a deep national field.
What made Payton’s weekend especially impressive was the commitment behind the scenes. She participated in the positional clinic on Friday, then turned around and woke up at 5:45 a.m. to compete in her first club tournament of the season. After finishing her matches, she drove straight back to the Kansas City Convention Center to showcase again. That type of schedule is demanding physically and mentally, yet Payton showed up composed, prepared, and ready to compete. That level of dedication, discipline, and love for the craft does not go unnoticed. It is exactly the kind of commitment college coaches respect and value.
Reflecting on her experience, Payton emphasized how meaningful it was to train and compete alongside top athletes from across the country. She noted that the environment helped her understand her competition while also building confidence through fast-paced, high-impact drills. On the court, she is most proud of her ability to make quick, disciplined decisions as an attacker, combining volleyball IQ with power and shot selection. Her training is rooted in understanding the game, which allows her to stay adaptable and effective in high-level situations.
Looking ahead, Payton is focused on maintaining confidence and accountability while continuing to grow as both a player and a person. Her advice to younger athletes is clear and grounded in experience. Set higher standards for yourself. Be willing to do what others are not. Trust your process, stay committed to your path, and take the time to understand who you are, not just as a player, but as a competitor navigating pressure, challenges, and growth.
