About Genesis

Hi, I’m Genesis. I’m in my second year of playing volleyball, and I’ve quickly grown to love the game. I used to play basketball, and I think that’s where my 10-foot touch comes from.

I’m known for my strong work ethic, discipline, being early to everything, and always playing with a smile. I commit to every point and put just as much energy into supporting and cheering on my teammates.

Last year, I dislocated my finger at one of our first tournaments, and it took 11 weeks to recover, which felt like forever during club season. When I came back, our coach passed away, which was really hard for me and my team. That experience taught me a lot about resilience, staying strong, and showing up for others during tough times.

After that, I put in a lot of extra work. One week last summer, I played about 20 hours of volleyball, and I was able to increase my vertical jump by 6 inches in 4 months. I’ve improved quickly and am proud to have made the top 3rd team at my new club, 1st Alliance. I was also voted Most Improved Player by my high school team, and one of my former coaches told me I’m one of the most coachable players they’ve worked with.

What makes me unique is my mental toughness, compassion, leadership, and discipline. I have a calm personality, and I always try to bring positive energy to every space I’m in and add to my team, not take away.

My goal is to keep growing as a player and compete at the college level. In college, I’m looking for a place where I can be challenged, continue to improve, explore my interests, and be part of a team and community that supports each other.
