About Julia

Hi, I’m Julia Adams and one of my ambitions is to play college volleyball at a school with high academic rigor and pride in their program. My volleyball game is all about steady consistency and smart decision-making on the court. I am a leader who sets a strong example with reliable performance. I lead calmly and my teammates can count on me. I am well-rounded player and not afraid to use all my tools, including myself as an offensive weapon. I approach life with focus on precision and planning. I handle pressure well and keep a cool head in challenging situations. I have an attentiveness to detail and strong intuition. This, combined with my desire to help others succeed, and drive for continued improvement make me good teammate on and off the court.
