What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreShe loves competing, challenging herself, and trying to win. The friendships, laughing together, encouraging each other, and beeing a part of a team. Learning new skills and seeing her work pay off.
My biggest inspiration on and off the court is my sister. She is getting ready to play Division I volleyball in college, and watching her work hard and chase her dreams inspires me every day. She has taught me to never give up, always work hard, and believe in myself. I look up to her not only as a volleyball player, but also as my sister and someone I can always count on.”
One of the moments I’m most proud of is seeing how much she has grown as a volleyball player, over the last year. I’m proud of the times when she has worked through challenges, stayed positive, and kept pushing herself even when things were difficult. Knowing that her hard work is paying off and that she is becoming a better teammate and player makes me really proud.
