My passion is volleyball.
The way that I discovered my passion for volleyball was when I was little. My dad really enjoyed playing when he was young too, and that really got me interested in the sport. It amused me to play volleyball because it was a way for me to distract myself, rather than thinking about academics all the time. I started to play again at high school with JV, but being on the varsity made me realize how much I want to improve my skills and how devoted I actually am to the sport.
Kimberly's interest in volleyball has skyrocketed this school year, and she would love to hone her skills. At this point, she is aware of how much she doesn't know about volleyball, and wants to learn as much as possible this summer so that she can bring those assets and new ideas to our team next fall. She is excited about the opportunity to bring her volleyball knowledge gained at the Nike camp to her teammates. In this way, her attendance at Nike camp will not only benefit her, but benefit our whole team!
I also know that exposure to other more experienced volleyball players will be both fun and an awesome learning experience for her. She is very good at connecting with people, and meeting students from other parts of the Bay Area (and different life backgrounds) will be really powerful for her, as her life is mostly limited to Richmond.
On my way to Volleyball Camp, I was really excited to start and learn all these new techniques and ways to improve my skills. The first day that we actually started to play, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed because almost everyone there has been playing since they were little kids and also because it was very hot. It was not the first day I expected. As soon as I woke up the following day, I woke up in a great mood. I wanted to excel and do my very best in learning new things that can help me overall. I started enjoying it and I loved every second of it! I learned a lot of things and I know for a fact that my skills did improve much more. I am so beyond happy that I had the opportunity to try new things and I am really grateful for everyone who helped me get there!! I can confidently say that this experience sharpened up my skills and will make me be the best player I can be. Thanks for the awesome opportunity!!
Sincerely, Kimberly Davila
The program that I am going to be participating in will be the US Sports Nike Volleyball Camp. I am very excited as well as nervous to be attending this program this summer! I strongly believe that because of this program, I will be able to improve my skills as well as my mentality.
I am looking forward to sharing my passion with other people who love the sport as much as I do. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and I am going to take everything I can from this camp. I believe this program will be able to set my mind into thinking of being a professional volleyball player. I hope this program makes me a better player, and overall a better person!
Go girl!!! Have fun at camp!
