What I love most about playing volleyball is the teamwork , competitiveness and fast pace of the game. It’s a sport where communication and trust are key — every point depends on how well you trust and connect with your teammates. I also enjoy the adrenaline rush during rallies and the satisfaction that comes from a great dig or hit. It’s challenging, but that’s what makes it fun and rewarding.
My mom (cheerleader, chauffeur, shoulder) inspires me by always showing up — to every game, every scrimmage, always cheering me on. She’s my biggest supporter and constantly reminds me to keep pushing, be positive, you got this, no matter what. Her dedication and belief in me motivate me to give my best every time I step on the court and in life.
Proudest moments are when I see her lift up her teammates after a tough game or cheer for a friend on the opposing team. It shows her true character! That sportsmanship and kindness matter just as much as winning. Moments like that make me even prouder than any point scored.
