Favorite athlete…
My older sister Sasha Kissman
 
The best coach you’ve ever had…
The best coach I've ever had would have to be my dad. Throughout my life he has taught me to be a champion in everything that I do. He has taught me valuable life lessons, and as I look to continue my coaching career, I pray that I can be an imitator of him.
 
Favorite moment in sport- yours or any other…
My favorite moment playing volleyball would be when my team won Junior Olympics. My dad was the coach and after we won I remember running into his arms and crying.
 
Best thing about volleyball…
The best thing about this sport is that in addition to being able to play it, I get to coach and mentor younger girls like my younger sister Makenzi. I have loved being able to watch her grow and develop not only as a player but also as a spiritual leader.
 
How would you like to be remembered when your college athletic career is over?
When my collegiate athletic career is over, I do not want to just be remembered for the wins and losses. I want to have made an impact and have let God's glory shine through my good works. I want to have impacted my teammates by pointing them to Christ in all things, my opponents by showing them respect and glorifying God in the process of competition, and have given my Savior all the praise and honor for the success He has given me in this sport. Even if my name is never mentioned again, I pray that Christ will be glorified and honored through the work He had for me while I participated in collegiate athletics.
 
Who has been most influential in your spiritual, academic, or athletic development as a student-athlete?
The most influential person to my spiritual development has been my mother. Throughout the trials and struggles I have endured, she has always been leading me back to Christ. She has helped me grow in my discernment and understanding of the Word, and I am so blessed to have her has my mother.
