I got the nickname Spitfire for a reason - I burned inside to play volleyball.
I was supposed to be too short to play college volleyball.
Being 5' 10, I was supposed to be too short to play college volleyball. So that gave me the hunger and the fire to say, Oh yeah? I'd just hit the crap out of the ball.
I played volleyball for the greater part of my life, since I was 11 or 12 years.
