I think the camaraderie and the team aspect is really
nice. You know, I've made some of my
closest friends and like lifelong friendships through the sport and
also just like competing, basketball and volleyball are the
two sports I can think of where it's like,
you know, you can kind of take it upon
yourself to take over a match, take over a
game, his tac and his fire. It's something
that my dad and my brother have more than I
have and I respect it. I do respect it
because it drives them to play better and be a
better player. I think, like, offensively,
I bring a lot to the table. Obviously,
I think my team relies on me pretty heavily to
put the ball away to get killed. I'm pretty
physical, I guess in volleyball means you hit the
ball hard, you're athletic. And I think I
combine that with kind of just my beach volleyball background
, a pretty high volleyball IQ and a solid read
for the game. I'd like to think I'm just
kind of a stable presence for my team and consistent
. So that's what I strive to be. He's
one of the most powerful players I've ever seen.
He has such strength and how his arm swing the
way he passes his formation. So he's a beautiful
player to watch. My goals have kind of become
more team oriented over the years. We've been knocking
on the door of making an NCAA tournament. We've
just been a little too inconsistent. We've had some
high, highs and low lows. So my goal
is just to stay steady, you know, volleyball
is a very fickle game and sometimes you win,
sometimes you lose, but just finding a way to
stay solid throughout the year so that we give ourselves
a chance at the very end.
