Her and mom love to sit together and watch film. When Alice got into volleyball and became fully invested, there was a sense of excitement by Genny because the sport is her passion.Įvery time Alice gets home from either a club or high school match, the Bridgeland standout is already pulling out the iPad to see if the video of the game is up for her to analyze. “After my first club tournament, I knew volleyball was my sport.” “My love for volleyball began when I was 12,” Alice said.

It was at that age that Alice fell in love with the sport. But then she decided to go all volleyball when she was 14.” She doubled up soccer and volleyball when she was 12 and 13. “I thought she was going to end up on the soccer field or softball. “I didn’t want her to try until it was a little more organized. “I tried really hard not to push volleyball on her when she was little, because volleyball is a little tough to play when you’re that young,” Genny said.

Then softball, basketball and volleyball came into play in the seventh grade. When Alice was growing up, volleyball, ironically, was the last sport that she got into.Īlice started with gymnastics, then soccer the latter, a sport she liked a lot. “And being able to celebrate it with her made it ten times more enjoyable.” “That moment felt so unreal,” Alice said.
