NFL star inspires Manvel volleyballer

A: Even though he plays football, I love Peyton Manning and all his accomplishments. Ever since he’s been with the Colts and now with the Broncos, he just motivates me because he never gives up because he’s so family-oriented and works so hard.

Q: Who inspires you the most?
A: My dad is a football coach here, and he pushes people so hard and cares. I’d love to follow his lead. Also my mom -- she’s a great leader. And Coach (Rheanna) Stahl because she’s awesome. She pushes us every day. Even though we’re not the best winning team, she’s always there for us and never gives up on us.
Q: What are your hobbies outside of sports?
A: I love hanging out with my friends. I also do a lot of babysitting and helping out with the community. I also tutor a lot of people at school.
