Once my senior year of volleyball was over I had several scholarship offers. Coach Louise Crocco was inducted into the High School Hall of Fame in 2008 and is the winningest High School coach in History for the State of Florida. My coaches, Louise Crocco and Jude Abrams were extraordinary coaches that brought many times to the State Champion tournament and walked away 18 times as the Champions. We went 31-0, won the State Championship (the number 10 or more for the coaches), and received the MVP Player of the Year for the State of Florida in Volleyball, All-State Awards from Miami Herald Paper, Sun Sentinel Paper, Play of the Year for one of the papers(I think it was the Miami Herald), Play of the Week many times for both papers. I tried out for the Volleyball team that August made it, ended up subbing in for a started mid-way through the first match of our season, and started every game afterward. We made up drills, ran drills that we learned at camp, ran sprints, just everything we could all day every day the whole summer. I fell in the love with the sport and spent the rest of the summer playing every day on my own with one or two volleyball players from Gibbons. I ran track from Sophomore year, played Softball my Junior year, and went to a Volleyball camp the summer before my senior year.
Gibbons had a great Volleyball program, but I wasn’t interested in it.
I started out at Boca High School and transferred to Cardinal Gibbons High School in the middle of my Sophomore year. Started playing tennis at 4 years old and played through 10th grade when I got sick of it. I played every sport that was offered in elementary/middle school, was a cheerleader, ran faster than anyone in our school except for Donnie Reed….sometimes. None of my girlfriends like to get dirty so it was just me and the boys. When I was growing up I was outside playing football, horse, riding dirt bikes, with the boys in the neighborhood. She was an Athletic Director at Henderson University School and an Adjunct Professor for Florida Atlantic University. She got finish her undergraduate degree after having 4 kids and working full time, then went on to get her Master’s Degree. My father played on the White Soxs minor leaque team as a pitcher, my mother was ahead of her time. I grew up in Boca Raton, Florida, the youngest of 4 kids( 1 boy and 3 girls), with parents that were both athletes.
