EP12 - Maria Reis Lopes: Handling Different Roles in a Volleyball Team, and How to Know When to Leave Your Comfort Zone and Grow from It

12/20/23 • 48 min

Get ready for your last guest episode before Christmas! Today you’ll be able to hear about Maria’s growth as a player throughout her career, and how she was (and still is!) able to juggle her student life with her professional athlete life. We also talked about how Maria handles her responsabilities in different team environments and how her mind has to shift when she plays opposite or outside hitter. It was great to have such an open conversation about the joys and struggles of the growth of a young volleyball player, not only inside the clubs she represented, but also at a National Team level. To follow Maria’s volleyball journey, you can search her Instagram handle @mariareislopes and give her a follow! Don’t be shy and share your thoughts on the comment section! I would really appreciate to have your opinion on the voting section too (5 stars if it’s not too much to ask eheh!). If you’d like a bonus communication platform, I’m on Instagram @martahurst and I read every message, so I’ll hear you out for sure.

Welcome to our first ever Christmas Special! This was a very fun episode for me to record, so I'm not gonna give you too many spoilers about it, you'll just have to listen to it from start to finish ahahah!
