Clarion Reporter:What got you started in volleyball?

Hannah Frascella: I took an interest in volleyball after my sister Sarah started playing, and I loved going to her games because I really enjoyed watching the sport. I owe my sister a lot because she took the time to teach me the basics of volleyball.

Clarion Reporter: What is your main goal/motivation for volleyball?

Frascella: My main goal is also the thing that motivates me…and it’s to get better. I want to better myself every time I touch the ball.  I am very competitive with myself, but I always try to be a better, stronger version of myself.

Frascella’s favorite thing about volleyball is how stress relieving it is. She also emphasizes how she loves all of the amazing friendships she created in volleyball.
