Do you have a pregame ritual, something that gets you in the zone?

What’s a goal you would like to accomplish?

“One of my biggest goals is to receive a scholarship to play college volleyball. Yeah, that’s my goal. I don’t mind whether it’s out of state or in-state university, it just depends on who offers me the most money.”
