ELLA’S STORY

I started soccer at age 2 and my love for the game has just grown so much for the game over the years. I started volleyball at 8 and my passion for the game is just as much as soccer. Some of my inspirations are Mia Hamm and watching the high school girls playing from my local club. My volleyball inspirations are my parents. I grew up watching them play and it made me want to play too. I also love the team aspect of both of the games and supporting my teammates by cheering! I have won many gold medals in my soccer and volleyball career and have even gotten runner up in soccer state cup!

WHY ULTRA ANKLE?

I have tested and tried so many ankle braces but have found they restrict my jumping and running movement but don’t do anything to stop ankle sprains or don’t fit in my shoes. But after see them (Ultra Zoom) at various volleyball tournament I decided to try them and I haven’t gotten a sprain since, I use to sprain my ankle multiple times a week but in the last few months haven’t had one sprain when wearing them!

WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT PLAYING FOR DCFC and L2 VOLLEYBALL?

The best part of DCFC is you can never out grow it you can start city minis at a young age and once club is over they have a professional team you can join!
The best part of playing for L2 Volleyball is I’ve gone from a big club where many get overlooked to L2 were everyone is seen and a everyone gets a chance and they really focus on developing the player.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUNG PLAYERS IN YOUR SPORT?

This works for both sports, you don’t always need to be the hitter, striker, defender, or even passer you just need to want it and to work hard and to be leader and positive to everyone and trust me your skills, performance, and work ethic with shine through eventually you just have to keep going even when it’s hard and tiring.
And one last quote “the difference between a good player and a great player is, a good player loves the game, a great player lives the game.”
