Ellsworth’s Alexis Moore understands that volleyball can be a frustrating sport at times, but being able to overcome the mental hurdles is just one area she is focused on improving for the 2025 season.
My main area for improvement is ‘controlling the controllables,’” Moore said. “I want to be able to brush off all the bad and play point by point. I have worked in practice every day to just keep smiling and be positive after every play.”
The Bearcats play in a super competitive league, so being able to say they are the best is a goal for Moore.
“The biggest goal I have for us this season is to take league,” Moore said. “The league we are in is incredibly competitive and filled with so many talented athletes and great coaches. I want to make history with this team and I know we have the best group to do it.”
Moore’s offseason was volleyball non-stop. From individual workouts to large team camps, she was busy trying to get better.
“I spent a lot of time in the gym this summer with the team, my family, myself, and several college coaches and athletes,” Moore said. “I went to several recruitment camps that helped me gain so much knowledge and perfect certain areas in my game.”
Being a senior, Moore wants to soak up every moment over the two-month season.
“This season, I’m most excited to play with my girls one last time,” Moore said. “This team has become my family and I can’t wait to see how far we go within our league and in the post season.”
