“Thank you so much for featuring me in this article, honestly a year ago if someone had told me I would be here today the low-confidence athlete I was wouldn’t have believed them. This past year I’ve grown tremendously physically and mentally as I’ve tapped into what it truly means to be an athlete. I focus on training my mind, taking each rep and each pass and focusing in on one thing at a time. Outside of team practices, I spent this past summer at various volleyball camps, including overnight college camps, skill development camps and positionals, I went weeks where I played around 6 hours a day for 6 days a week. Recently, I’ve done private lessons honing on serve receive and passing consistency and have been conditioning consistently around 4 days week. I focus on sprints and building endurance, and also lifting with a trainer, working each muscle group for injury prevention.

For example, squatting with two plates and focusing on resistance on my way up for 25 reps and then immediately transferring that resistance to box jumps to translate the explosive movement in athletic training. My volleyball club, Encore, also offers in house recovery and I have been able to use our cryotherapy machines in order to give my muscles the recovery they need. I have also been consistently implementing steam therapy into my routine at least once a week, especially after tournaments. With my team, I practice 3 nights a week and additional lessons 1-2x a week. I watch a lot of film as well, trying to analyze my mistakes, even when it’s hard to watch myself mess up but ultimately it’s the only way to push past my mistakes.” Quote provided to Michelle Bamford @ PrepDig
