Describe how you work in a team.
While working in a team environment I like to include the thoughts and ideas of everyone. I try to make others feel heard and confident enough to speak their mind without feeling judged. I also try to make a point of communicating constantly, especially in a volleyball setting, the team has to have an understanding of each other to create that positive energy on and off the court.
Athletic highlights and how you felt when you received them:
Most versatile player award: When I received this award I felt beyond excited that my coaches thought of me as an all around great player. They trusted that I could handle any position on the court and not only be open to a change but adapt quickly to it.
Captain of my club team: When I found out I had been voted 1st captain (alongside 2 other incredible girls) I was ecstatic. As it was only my 2nd year playing club, the confidence in myself grew and the faith my teammates had in me to vote me as captain only motivated me to do my absolute best and put my 100% effort into every practice and game. I made a point of taking this leadership role seriously and not just using it as a selling point in a resume. I always put every last ounce of myself into our practices and I never took this role for granted.
Co-Captain of my highschool team: When my highschool coach came to tell me she had chosen me as one of our team’s captains I was in disbelief. This was my first year making the team and I didn’t expect for myself to have been chosen for this leadership role. Right away I tried my hardest to show that I did deserve this and the support I received from my teammates gave me a huge boost in my confidence in myself and what I can do. I made sure to help out the grade nines who hadn’t even touched a volleyball before and I always gave them my encouragement when mistakes were made. I loved being able to help them out because we were all there once and I was so proud that they gave us their best no matter what.
What are your interests outside of sports? Why do you like them?
My interests outside of sports include reading, spending time with my friends and family, and listening to music. I love to read any chance I get because it helps me focus and unwind from a busy day or week. While I love reading, I definitely enjoy spending time with the people I love more. Coming from a huge family, I love having the privilege of getting to see them as often as possible. My family and friends are my biggest supporters and I choose to surround myself around these incredible people because of the undying love they give me. Lastly, I love to listen to music. Music is so fantastic in the way that there is something for everyone, especially with all of Taylor’s albums! I listen to music every single day and there is always a perfect playlist for any mood I am in.
