I learned through playing volleyball that the best way to get better is to believe in yourself and not give up. I realize that the term is cliche, but it is true. I had always believed that being the best athlete meant being the best at every skill. But, I was wrong. You will learn more and grow when you forget about comparing yourself to others and just trust in the fact that you will try your absolute hardest in everything you do. Your own drive and determination will lead you to success. This idea has helped me a lot more than any other piece of advice, and has made me the athlete and student I am today.
