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

Volleyball is my happy place. It's where I can be myself, have fun, and leave all my worries behind.


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

The 8th-grade girls at Ramsay Middle School and the Nebraska volleyball team.


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

My proudest moment was when Evelyn learned to do an overhand serve after being told it probably wouldn’t happen. Instead of giving up, she worked hard, practiced consistently, and proved the coach wrong. Watching her believe in herself and achieve something she was told she couldn’t do made me incredibly proud of her determination, confidence, and perseverance.
