Maggie's Story

I have been playing volleyball since I was a little girl because my mom would always teach me a new lesson everyday. It has been my dream to be a professional volleyball player, and Kerri Walsh Jennings has been such a great role model.

So far I have played volleyball in middle school and in club volleyball. I have never felt so much alive as when stepping on to the court to give my all in each game I have played. I feel more confident and joyful when I am pursuing this passion.

Attending this program will help me to accomplish my future goals, because I will still stick to something I'm passionate about, regardless of anything that gets in my way.

A Note from Ms. Magana, Maggie's Teacher

I know that Maggie will benefit tremendously from this program because it would give her the opportunity to pursue a passion of hers beyond what is currently accessible to her and her family.

Maggie came to me at the beginning of the year and mentioned to me that she wants to play volleyball at her school, but that she wants to focus on her academics this year. This program will help her prepare for the school volleyball team try outs and give her a better chance of making it on the team, because she will be competing against students who have been playing club sports all of their lives.

My time at volleyball camp

I had an amazing time at Nike Volleyball Camp at San Jose State University this summer. I really enjoyed making new friends and improving my volleyball skills and techniques. I am looking forward to going to another camp next summer, and I am also really looking forward to my volleyball tryouts at my high school this year. Thank you for supporting me!

Ready to work hard at Nike Volleyball Camp

I am most excited about training with great coaches and playing with competitive players. The goals I've set for myself while attending are getting in good shape and overall training hard to be more skillful in my passion of playing volleyball. I am really nervous about meeting new people. A challenge I might face during the program is all the hard work and sweat that I'm ready and capable of facing. I will overcome it by not giving up because in order to get somewhere in life , you have to work hard for it and it actually pays off.  
Thank you again so much for helping me attend this program!

Thank you

Thank you so much for your generosity! I really appreciate your kindness and support. If it wasn't for your help, I could not have the chance to explore my passion at Nike Volleyball Camp. Your donation will really help me become skilled in volleyball and have new skills. You've helped me out tremendously. Thank you once again.

Success! Ms. Magana helped Maggie raise $722

Hi, Maggie
I am so hopeful for you and your dream. When my daughters were young athletes, we had no opportunities to get support like you have through Wishbone. However, we managed with the help of some amazing coaches, never skipping the chance to practice and both enjoyed their sports career in Track and Field, as well as weightlifting. Both girls were able to compete at the collegiate level with scholarships. May you have the same success.
