Almodovar #242 Kills Almodovar2 Kills v BS Rise...Personal Statement
- We win when we work together, even when we are down- every point counts.
While playing beach volleyball this past summer, we were down by 10 points against a team that we were fiercely competitive. It was a very hot, humid day and we had looked forward to competing against this team all summer- as we were friends at school.
Straight out of the gate, our opponents scored 10 humiliating points. We dug deep, then even deeper. We caught up, the surpassed them to win. Literally, blood, sweat, and tears but we won. Winning was really less about the score and more about not giving up. Supporting my team mate and friend. With a 10-point deficit, some people would give up and be mad. That wasn't going to solve anything. I play better under pressure and won't sacrifice my friend and team mate when under immense pressure.
I love volleyball. I grew up swimming and I think that had a positive impact on my muscle development and stamina.
I'm looking at preferably smaller institutions in Texas, or surrounding states, but looking at all states at this stage.
