What was your experience like with the Titans? What did it mean to you?

My experience with Titans throughout my years was like having a second family. I grew up with some amazing girls and made some of my best friends to this day. I learned so much from not only the people around me but the challenges and successes that came with being on a team. 

How did being part of the club shape you as a person on and off the court?

Being a part of Titans has shaped me on and off the court by not only teaching me volleyball skills but allowing me to learn resilience, teamwork, communication skills and leadership. Titans allowed me to grow into the person I am today with tons of support and guidance from the coaches around me and my teammates! 

Can you share a memorable moment or highlight with your teammates?

One of the most memorable moments for me was my U16 club year when we won Volleyball Canada Nationals! This team meant so much to me and this success was only a symbol to describe how hard we worked and how much fun we had throughout that year. 

How did coaches or mentors in the club support you in your journey?

Throughout my journey at Titans I had some amazing coaches who supported me a ton by always looking for new ways to make me a better player and a leader. They helped me build confidence and resilience and always had belief in me and my team. 

Did the club experience help prepare you for future academics, careers, or athletics?

My club experience definitely shaped me as a leader which helped me transition from club to university athletics.  My ability to time manage with school and volleyball in club had direct translation to where I am now which helped me a ton. 

Looking back, how did the volleyball club influence your path after you graduated?

Titans taught me the importance of teamwork, discipline and resilience which I continue to apply in everything I do. Most importantly, the sense of community and support I found in the club inspired me to pursue new challenges and never give up on my dreams.  

What would you say to a younger athlete considering joining the club?

To younger athletes joining Titans I would tell them to embrace the community around you, enjoy the journey of dealing with the challenges and never lose sight of your big goals! Titans is not only a place to develop your volleyball skills but you as a person and building lifelong friendships. You will be cheered for and supported on and off the court and gain so many life skills and memories that will stay with you long after the season ends.

Why do you think the club stands out compared to others?

At Titans, you will find a strong sense of community, dedication to player development, and genuine passion for the sport like no other club. Every player feels included, motivated and values friendship, fun and bond over the love for volleyball. 

If you had to describe your time with the club in three words, what would they be?

Family, memorable, rewarding
