hope’s Story
I started playing volleyball in 6th grade and had no idea that I would grow to love the sport as much as I do now. Volleyball has opened up so many amazing opportunities and has given me great exposure to things around me in the athletic world. I have been able to accomplish so much in the sport of volleyball, personally and athletically, and if it wasn’t for the help of God, my parents, teammates, and coaches none of it would be possible.
I chose Jackson State during my recruiting process because the campus would be the right fit for me. The culture and environment here is amazing. Being able to play the sport I love, at a school where I am comfortable and confident is a major plus. Since being here, I have been named SWAC Newcomer of the Week 3 times and am also top 5 in 2 or more areas in SWAC conference statistics.
WHY ULTRA ANKLE?
The Ultra Ankle brace has got to be one of the most stable, supportive, and comfortable ankle braces I have ever used. Not to mention, Ultra Ankle also provides different style choices for those with different preferences or needs. I have been using the Ultra Ankle brace for the majority of my volleyball career and I have yet to be disappointed. The Ultra Ankle brace has also aided in my recovery from a previous ankle sprain. I would highly recommend any athlete to purchase Ultra Ankle braces, especially athletes who play at the collegiate level. We as athletes must always make the necessary accommodations to protect our bodies.
