Interview

What makes you different?

As a middle blocker and national champion, I stand out for my ability to perform under pressure and elevate my team’s level of play. Competing at the highest level in France has allowed me to develop strong technical skills, particularly in blocking and attacking, along with a deep tactical understanding of the game. My competitive spirit, combined with rigorous discipline and unwavering determination, drives me to constantly strive for excellence. Additionally, my leadership on the court and my ability to motivate my teammates make me a key player in crucial moments.

Why do you want to play in the U.S college system?

The U.S. college system offers a unique opportunity to pursue my education while playing volleyball at the highest level. I am drawn to the prospect of training with experienced coaches, having access to top-notch facilities, and competing against some of the best players in the world. The intense level of competition and the opportunities provided by the U.S. system will allow me to continue developing as a middle blocker while also growing off the court. Playing in this system would be a crucial step toward achieving my goals, both in sports and academics, and would prepare me for a successful career in volleyball, whether as a professional player or transitioning into other roles within the sport.

Volleyball and Life goals

In the short term, my goal is to continue excelling as a middle blocker at the collegiate level, contributing to my team’s success while pursuing higher education. I aim to use my experience as a national champion to help raise my team’s performance and achieve new milestones in my volleyball career. In the long term, I aspire to pursue a career in volleyball, whether by playing professionally or getting involved in Sciences or Psychology. At the same time, I am committed to succeeding in my studies and preparing for a career where I can make a positive impact, whether within sports or in another field. The values I’ve developed as a player—such as perseverance, teamwork, and leadership—will be crucial in achieving these goals and thriving in all aspects of my life.
