As the daughter of two collegiate athletes, following in her parents’ footsteps had always been one of Kellen Morin’s goals.
“Volleyball has always been a huge part of my life,” Morin said. “I really strongly identify myself as an athlete. So, I can’t imagine not being an athlete.”
While that goal came true, her first college experience didn’t go as planned. Nothing seemed to go right for Morin during her freshman year playing for a Virginia Tech team that won just 11 matches all season.
Questions began popping up in Morin’s head of if she wanted to continue to play the sport she had poured so much of her life into.
