Finding Volleyball: A Switch That Sparked a Passion
Emily’s journey into volleyball started with a simple decision—she wanted to try something different. After realizing basketball wasn’t for her, she set her sights on volleyball, and it turned out to be the perfect fit.
“I didn’t like basketball, so I wanted to try something else.”
That choice led her to Prevail Volleyball Club, where she found a place to grow, compete, and connect with teammates who share her love for the game.
Why Prevail? A Place to Grow and Belong
For Emily, Prevail isn’t just a club—it’s a place where players of all levels can thrive and improve. The welcoming environment made her transition into the sport seamless, while the training and competition have elevated her game.
“I love how welcoming everybody is. It’s great for newer players coming in, but it also helps you advance your skills and definitely improves your game.”
The combination of inclusivity and competitive growth is what makes Prevail special to Emily.
Big Play Moments: Blocks, Hits, and Momentum Shifts
Every athlete has defining moments that stand out in their career. For Emily, her game-changing block late in the season is one she won’t forget.
“My block against one of the later games of the season went straight down against their best outside.”
But it’s not just defense where Emily makes an impact—her offensive ability has led to highlight plays that define matches.
“My hit that was behind me, but I transitioned and hit it straight through the seams—it was one of the fastest hits of my career.”
These moments aren’t just personal achievements—they’re team momentum boosters that help Prevail stay ahead in high-pressure situations.
Mental Toughness: Staying Ready in Big Moments
When the pressure is high, Emily doesn’t panic—she focuses on what she’s proven she can do.
“I remember what I can do at practice and that I’ve proved to myself I can do it on the court during a big game.”
She understands that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about trusting the work she’s put in and executing with confidence.
And when a big play happens? Emily doesn’t stop to celebrate—she locks in and keeps the energy up.
“Keep the momentum going and do it more in the game.”
She knows that one big moment can change the course of a match, and she’s ready to make the most of every opportunity.
The Spotlight: A Reflection of Teamwork
Being at the center of a game-changing moment is a feeling unlike any other. But for Emily, it’s not just about individual success—it’s about what the team has accomplished together.
“It feels like our teamwork has all paid off and we came together and did it as a team.”
Her ability to step up in crucial moments is a direct result of the chemistry and preparation she and her teammates have built throughout the season.
What’s Next for Emily?
Emily’s ability to deliver in pressure-packed moments, paired with her dedication to improvement, makes her a standout at 15 Platinum. As she continues to sharpen her skills, perfect her timing, and take her game to new heights, there’s no doubt she’ll be a force for Prevail this season.
