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

What I love most about playing volleyball is being part of a team and having people around me who share the same passion. I love competing, challenging myself, and seeing myself improve over time. I also enjoy the friendships I’ve made through volleyball and the feeling of working together with my teammates toward the same goal.

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

My parents inspire me the most because they always support me, believe in me, and encourage me to keep going even when things get difficult. They have taught me to work hard, stay positive, and never give up on my goals. On the court, my teammates also inspire me because we push each other to get better and always support one another.

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

One of the moments that makes me proudest is seeing how much I have grown as a volleyball player and as a person. There have been times when things were challenging, but I kept working hard, stayed committed, and continued to push myself. I’m proud that I’ve learned to stay positive, trust myself, and keep going even when things don’t go the way I hoped. That growth and perseverance mean more to me than any single win.
