The Changing Lives program truly strengthened our volleyball team beyond their physical abilities. They learned how to deal with adversity, become leaders and develop a positive attitude. The greatest moments during the season were when they utilized these skills both on and off the court. Several other coaches commented at how well they handled situations that would make other teams break down. Through Changing Lives, these girls learned the true lessons of being a champion.
