Tessa Beckman brings a clear presence at the net, and she knows it. She describes her role as someone who shifts the energy of the game through blocking, communication, and constant engagement.

What separates her is not just the physical advantage, but how she uses it. She is focused on pressing over the net, improving transitions, and turning her block into a true point-scoring weapon rather than just a touch.

Her communication also stands out. Being described as the “WiFi” of the team reflects how she connects players and keeps everyone aligned, which is a valuable trait for a middle.

Tessa is built around presence, both physically and vocally, and she is starting to understand how to use both to control the match.
