From the early days of barely getting the ball over the net on serves to serving 22 aces in 2023, senior Brooklyn Wuest of Goessel High has seen so much improvement in her game.
As an outside hitter is essential to be able to serve well if you want to play all six rotations, which is why Wuest spent a lot of her downtime perfecting the craft.
“I improved my serve by getting 20-50 serves in at my local recreation center. I subtracted one whenever I missed a serve, and I had to get at least 20,” Wuest said.
Aside from working on her serves, Wuest has been putting in major work in other areas, too, all with the goal of finishing her high school career strong.
“During my offseason, I have been working on a vertical consistently. I only went to two camps this summer, since work interfered the other times. However, I was able to go to Washburn and Emporia State volleyball camps,” Wuest said.
As a senior leader Wuest has big plans this fall for her and the rest of the Bluebirds’ volleyball team.
“This season I am most excited about reaching our full potential. Goessel has already improved so much,” Wuest said. “My main team goal for this season is to not only make it to state, but go far at state. I haven’t gone to state all of my high school career, and I believe that this year is the year.”
