Greatest personal moment in sports: One of my favorite moments in volleyball was actually my freshman year. I was this skinny little girl playing middle on Varsity going up against these beastly women (that is how I perceived them at least!) In one play I blocked the same beastly girl 3 times in a row. Every time I blocked her I would actually stumble back because her hits were so strong. From that moment on I actually started to believe in myself.
