What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What she love most about playing volleyball is it makes herfeel happy and gives her an escape outside of reality. When she is playing and having a good time she is not stressing or thinking about other things other than having fun, winning the game, and playing for her team.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

The person that inspires her on and off the court I would say is her dad. He has been through so much with his military career and his battle through stage 4 lung cancer. It helps remind her that giving up is not an option unless you want it to be, and she never wants that to be the case.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Honestly speaking there isn’t one moment watch her analyze the court, to understand what she needs to do is amazing to me as her mother. Overall I couldn’t be prouder of the young woman she is becoming and how she handles her self on and off the court.
