I started off with low energy, and wanting to get stronger, leaner, quicker and higher.
At the end of my senior year I had great energy, leaner, quicker and my vertical increased 1 1/2"! I finished with over 1000 digs, approach jump 8'9:, reach 7'0" pro agility 4.86 and am going to play in college!
Food is such an important aspect in every athlete's life. When you are able to find the right balance of what your body needs, it is incredible to see the changes it makes in your sport. For me in volleyball, I felt more quick, explosive, and energetic when my body was fueled the correct way. My meal plans had been tailored to exactly what my body needed and provided me with the results I had hoped for in the beginning of my journey! I am excited to continue finding ways to adequately fuel my body to maximize my performance on the volleyball court!
