Volleyball is just as much a mental game as it is physical, and it can be super easy to get stuck in your own head. But remember that the outcome of one bad game does not define you as a player. keep trusting yourself and your teammates, and keep working hard. Always remember to enjoy every single moment, and to never lose sight of why you started playing in the first place!”

From Taliah: “Going from different travel teams and finally landing on a team that treated each other like family, I can honestly say I have had so much fun growing and traveling through volleyball with WCE. T #13 signing out.”
