WHAT'S IT LIKE TO PLAY ON YOUR TEAM?
My mantra is: “We win more than a match when we learn how to work as a team.” Teamwork and positivity are always my main priorities with everything I do during a season.
AS A YOUNG ATHLETE, WHO INSPIRED YOU?
My first time really watching the Summer Olympics was when I was in my second year of playing volleyball and fully starting to love the sport. I watched Misty May and Kerri Walsh bring home golds for Team USA and was so inspired.
