Vad ser du fram emot att dela med dig av på Instagram?
I am looking forward to sharing how my teammates and I interact on and off the court as well as prepare for upcoming matches/trainings.

Vad betyder volleyboll för dig?
Volleyball to me is something to do and a place to go to forget about everything and anything stressful. It’s a sport that is always challenging me and forcing me to step out of my comfort zone.

Vilka är dina största styrkor?
My strengths are my serve, attack, defense and perseverance.

Vad i ditt spel vill du utveckla?
Everyday I wish to improve all aspects of my game, but the most important skill I want to continue to improve is having a strong mind. The sport requires a forgetful mind and one that can refocus in an instant. Having that sets players apart.

Berätta om ditt bästa volleybollminne!
My greatest memory of the sport is hard to choose, the list is full of great moments. I guess the best one would be from when I was in high school. I played middle blocker at the time and our team was in playoffs after an undefeated season. One of the first plays in the match, the opposing team runs an X, where the position 4 attacker runs a quick set right of the middle blockers shoulder. Their middle blocker was over 2 meters and I was supposed to jump with him, (I didn’t). Once he jumps I hear him say “uh oh”. So once the position 4 attacker jumps, I go up with him, press my arms over the net, and blocked that ball so hard, it bounced under the net back onto our side. After that play/match, I knew I would play this sport for life.

Vad är ditt stora mål med volleybollen?
My big goal for this sport is to learn as much as possible, whether it’s different coaching techniques to court/body awareness. Once I accomplish that, I will begin coaching back in California and help young kids and young adults to become not just better players, but better people on and off the court.
