This sport truly changed my life in so many ways. It introduced me to lifelong friends, taught me resilience and hard work! It gave me some sort of structure growing up to learn how to navigate tough situations on and off the court. It also gave me confidence. Before volleyball, I was very timid and would second guess myself. Now, I am able to be sure of myself and the decisions I make, and know I have the tools to bounce back with when I make a mistake.
I encourage anyone that wants to play volleyball at any age to go for it! And know that this is a great tool for girls starting the recruitment process!
