There were two specific areas Valley Center’s Teagan Canady wanted to improve on this season.
“I really want to improve on my back-row skills this year like serve receive and defense,” Canady said. “In the offseason I worked on a lot of defense and serve receive and just being confident in myself when I go to college camps.”
Canady’s numbers last season were still solid. She had a serving percentage of nearly 97 percent, while she also had 200 kills, with a hitting percentage of 0.225.
But with her expected back-row skills improving, Canady has some goals she wants to achieve.
“My personal goals for this season is to make first district team and hopefully commit to a college this fall and overall just have a good season to end my high school career,” Canady said.
Volleyball is life for Canady, so there really wasn’t a time where she wasn’t doing something volleyball-related.
“In the offseason I took volleyball lessons and went to a few college camps that were super fun,” Canady said. “I don’t really have an offseason. I start club practice in November and played all the way up to July. We traveled all over to Indianapolis, Dallas and Las Vegas. At the MLK tournament in Kansas City we took first out of 78 teams.”
