    Debbie Green Volleyball Quotes 


    Throughout her youth, Debbie Green spent her spare moments playing volleyball, practicing it endlessly, performing in hundreds of matches, forfeiting her social life so she could perfect her skills as a setter.

    "I never went to a prom or to movies like other high school girls did," she says.

    "My entire life was volleyball. I'd play six days a week, with Monday the only day I'd take off."

    Debbie Green
