In this journal, a special touch has been added: bows scattered throughout its pages. Each bow is a gentle nod to Alex Torres' deep bond with volleyball. Back in college, on game days, she always tied a ribbon into a bow as a symbol of her love for the game. Whether adjusting her ponytail, wiping sweat, or diving for a ball, seeing that ribbon brought back the joy that drew her to volleyball.

Keeping this in mind, young athletes are encouraged to discover their own symbol or reminder of why they love volleyball. By weaving these reminders into their game, they can keep that joy alive and find fresh motivation to pursue their dreams on the court.
