The best middle blocker volleyball player in the Big Ten and Big West conferences..
Two college volleyball players, Jen Keddy and Erin Johnson answered my interview questions about how athletes live learn and excel in Division I.
Meet Cal Poly middle blocker volleyball hitter Jennifer Keddy.
What makes you special?
I am a 6' 4" middle blocker that plays all the way around.
What accessories and/or equipment help you play your best?
"I play with both my pinkys taped. I also have a bracelet that I tape over and an anklet that I will never take off."
What pregame habits, rituals, or superstitions do you have to do before every game?
"I stay with one of my teammates before every game."
Who or what inspires you to play well in each match that you play in?
"My father, Wayne Keddy.
My head coach, Caroline Walters and my assistant coach Justin Hutchins.
She makes me want to be the best that I can be and he pushes me to be better everyday in practice and during competitions.
And I always want to play well for my teammates."
What volleyball awards did Jennifer Keddy win this week?
Meet University of Illinois middle blocker volleyball hitter Erin Johnson.
What makes you special?
I wouldn't consider anything about me really special. I'm a hard worker,
in volleyball and in school, but the majority of people who play at this level are as well.
What accessories and/or equipment help you play your best?
What helps me play my best is making sure I'm taking care of myself, getting enough sleep and getting treatment when I need to.
What pregame habits, rituals, or superstitions do you have to do before every game?
I don't have any superstitions or habits. I think you always have to be prepared and focused to play when the time comes, whether or not you had the chance to perform "pre game rituals."
Who or what inspires you to play well in each match that you play in?
My parents inspired me to play hard every opportunity I get, whether its practice or a match.
Not everyone gets the opportunity to play the sport they love at the college level, so I try to make the most of it.
What awards did Erin Johnson win this week?
Follow me on Instagram @coach_apchap to improve your game even faster!
I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.
Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.
If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
