Most Memorable Sports Moment
My most memorable sports moment wasn’t from a championship — it was when I rediscovered my love for volleyball by playing adult recreational beach. Stepping back onto the sand reminded me how much joy the game brings me, but the real turning point was teaching a friend how to play. Watching their confidence grow, seeing their progress click, and realizing how much I loved coaching others lit something in me. That moment on the beach is what pushed me into coaching, and ultimately into personal training. It showed me that helping someone grow — as an athlete and as a person — is where I thrive.
