What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreWhat Stone loves most about volleyball is the competition, the adrenaline, and being part of a team where everyone pushes each other to be better. He loves the feeling of making a big play, fighting for every point, and celebrating wins with his teammates.
Stone is inspired by his teammates and coaches every day to become a better player. His teammates push him to work harder, stay focused, and never give up, while his coaches challenge him to improve his skills and reach his full potential. Their support, encouragement, and belief in him motivate Stone to keep learning, growing, and becoming the best athlete and teammate he can be.
What makes me most proud of Stone is his dedication and grit. After every game or tournament, he watches film to understand what he and his team did well and, more importantly, where they can improve. He takes what he learns from that film and brings it into practice, turning weaknesses into opportunities to get better. Stone doesn’t believe that being a better player only happens when he is at the gym. He studies the game, works out, practices at home, and constantly looks for ways to improve.
