Since as long as I can remember my family and I have been involved with volleyball. I first started playing in grade 4 for my school team but I didn't play my first year of OVA volleyball until my 16u year in grade 10. That year I played for the Barrie Elites, at 17u I played for the Markham Stingers, and at 18u I moved back to the Barrie Elites. In my first year of University I was a member of the Nipissing University Lakers mens volleyball team as well.

Everyone has the ability to perform at any time and also sometimes will struggle. Bringing attention to past athlete success helps them get back on track when they struggle and helps to build their confidence.
