I am an 18-year-old middle blocker with six years of competitive volleyball experience. I started in the u16 division, and for two of those years also competed in u18 at the same time, giving me early exposure to older competition. In total I played five years of u18, and in my final year I also competed in a Division 2 men’s league, where our team finished 3rd overall.
Balancing u18 and D2 men’s league play in the same year pushed me to quickly adapt to older, more physical competition. As an undersises middle blocker this has forced me to adapt and learn how to read the game.Throught the six years of playing i have attended diffrent camps seeking opportunitys for growth so i can reach the next level.
Throught this years i’ve had teammates that competed internationally and this has taught me the value of constanly trying to learn from the people around you and always being open to critisicm allowing me to grow as much as possible. It has also taught me the importance of not only training in court but also putting effort at the gym and on your diet since thats what makes the biggest diffrence. Looking ahead i am only searching for more opportunitys to grow and advance as an athlete because i genuinely love this sport and want to play for as long as possible however much work it takes.
