ANNA’S Story

My name is Anna Herman, I am on the women’s volleyball team at UCONN. I am a freshman middle blocker from Vincennes, Indiana. I started to play volleyball when I was 5 and since I can remember I’ve been in love with the game. Before I came to UCONN I played volleyball at Rivet High School. I was a four-time letter-winner and Sun Commercial Player of the Year. I was named Class A All-State, Class A All-District and set school records for blocks and kills in a match. I was also class valedictorian, a 4 year National Honors Society member, and Academic All-State. I chose UCONN because it is a place where excellence is the standard and that is something that I wanted to be a part of.

WHY ULTRA ANKLE?

I started wearing Ultra Ankle Ultra Zoom braces my freshman year of high school and haven’t looked back since. They have never failed me and kept me safe on the basketball and volleyball court! I have been recommending these for years to every young athlete who struggles with ankle problems and I am so excited to be partnering with one of my all time favorite brands! I can not go a game without Ultra Ankle!

WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT PLAYING FOR UCONN?

The amazing environment on and off the court for student athletes, and the constant drive for a championship culture.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUNG PLAYERS IN YOUR SPORT?

I would advise younger players to get as many touches as possible. Jump everyday and spend time getting comfortable on the court! Every rep matters!
