When I am not training at AGSP, I am: either at volleyball practice or at an out-of-state volleyball tournament.

What are your short-term goals? My short-term goals are to be the starting libero and maintain that for my next 3 years of high school.
What are your long-term goals? My long-term goals are to play D1 and start all 4 years at my college.
How has AGSP impacted your performance as an athlete? AGSP has impacted my performance by making me faster, stronger, and more explosive. Once you get to a higher level in your sport, most of your competition is going to be at the same skill level as you. So, from there the person who is faster and stronger will start over you. AGSP has also impacted me by teaching me to work hard and to "fake it until I make it."
