Trying to keep herself calm and reserved during games was Wichita South’s Josephine Garcia’s primary goal for the season.
“A goal I had for myself this season was to get my emotions on a leash and for the most part I have,” Garcia said.
She also wanted her team to take every opponent seriously and to not overlook anybody.
“A goal I had for the team this season was to not let outside sources affect our team and the way we play,” Garcia said. “We don’t play down to other schools.”
There were two key areas that Garcia focused on throughout the offseason.
“This season I wanted to improve my serves, hits, and overall attitude towards the game,” Garcia said. “My serves and hits got better because I really just walked around and did my approach every once in a while. During the summer i stayed in shape by doing yoga and swimming a lot, which I enjoyed.”
Besides the newness of the 2024 season, which brings a combination of veterans and new faces, Garcia was also excited about who she gets to play volleyball with.
“I was most eager to play volleyball as a senior with my best friend Maliyah,” Garcia said. “I was excited to see how everyone’s personalities would mix and match on the team.”
