Not everyone goes D1. Not everyone has the perfect trajectory in their sports career. But everyone who stays in the game has a story worth telling.Sometimes the JV journey makes the best varsity story. Alyssa Kerrigan proves that your worth as an athlete isn't determined by making varsity as a sophomore or committing to a D1 school. It's about what you do when the path isn't perfect.
In this episode we cover:
✓ Walking into high school tryouts knowing NOBODY (and how volleyball saved her)
✓ The moment she made JV as a Junior (and why she didn't quit)
✓ Her senior year redemption that ended with All-Conference honors
✓ The "yips" - that thing no athlete talks about but everyone experiences
✓ Roommates, Teammates & Drama
✓ Living together through it all - the friendship that survived everything
