Anaya Peel '27 Recruiting Profile

Hi my name is Anaya Peel and I wanted to share a little bit about myself! I was born in Utah and grew up in a military family. My parents are both retired Air Force vets. This gave me the opportunity to travel the US and overseas; including 4 years in Italy before finally settling in San Angelo, Texas!

    I was 8 when I first played volleyball, but didn’t play long before pursuing an interest in ballet. I returned to volleyball when I was 12 because I missed the speed and competition. I love everything about volleyball; the challenge, growth, practice, games, teamwork, all of it! I’m comfortable with hard work and discipline, this helps me always work to be my best. 

    I enjoy being a good team mate and I owe a lot of that to my parents and San Angelo Saints. My parents taught me the importance of accountability, leadership, and followership. The Saints coaches don’t tolerate behavior on or off court that dishonors God, and taught us the team is more important than the player. 

    My dad always tells me I don’t have to be the best, just be my best, and Im super excited to go as far as I can with volleyball and be my best!
