Being a starter for all four years is no easy feat, but for Bishop Carroll senior volleyball player Brea Martin, she has made it look easy.
“Brea is an all-around athlete,” head coach Teri Larson said. “She is quick, strong, and has an excellent vertical. She used to play basketball and made varsity her sophomore year. She also participated in track; however, now she focuses on volleyball only.”
Martin has been named to the all-league teams for her last two years and knows that she wants to continue leaving a lasting impact on the Golden Eagles program.
“Playing for Bishop Carroll is very special to me,” Martin said. “Many of my cousins and my mother played volleyball at Carroll. To follow in their footsteps is very impactful. Carroll is known for our great volleyball program, and I am proud to say that I am part of it.”
For Martin, she has always been one of the best athletes on the court, and being the Libero, she knows how important it is to continue improving in order to win.
One of those things she has improved on was her serve, something that Larson has mentioned as being “deadly.”
“I have worked hard on my serve for many years, and in the past couple of years, it has come together,” Martin said. “I worked the hardest on it during club season, playing high-level teams, and I needed to perfect it. I am very proud of my serve because it is one way that I can score points for my team, since I am on defense and not offense. Serving is one thing everyone can be good at, and I am proud that mine makes a difference for my team.”
