Volleyball is not just a sport for me, it was a blockage from stress outside. It allowed me to relax and enjoy my time with my teammates on and off the court. Volleyball has taught me life lessons that will be used outside of the game, it has taught me to slow down and enjoy the time I have left with the sport. I cherish every moment I laid foot on the court, and every match point, and lastly, not take anything for granted. I’ve learned how dedicated I can be when it comes to something that I care about, and love.
