Player Profile: Alexandra Beverly

We are very excited to help promote this talented volleyball player. Alexandra is everything you would want in a volleyball player and more. As a player she is a high flying enforcer that has strong skill sets and is able to play all-around the court. As a team-mate she is both friendly and supportive.

She comes from a strong volleyball family where her father and mother Jerry and Joy Beverly (who is 6'1") played and now coaches volleyball in Dade County and USAV. In addition her two younger sisters are both talented players in their own right. We recently sat down with Alexandra at one of the local Ft. Lauderdale tournaments and asked her a few questions to get to know her a little better.

BEVERLY: When I was 12yrs old.

SFVR: How does playing volleyball make you feel?
BEVERLY: Volleyball is the one time of the day when I can let my inner aggressor out and just play. I enjoy watching the long hours of hard work pay off as I see continued improvement on the court.

SFVR: Why do you want to play Volleyball Collectedly?
BEVERLY: There's nothing like playing the sport I love and representing my school. At the college level, the play is faster and more intense. I yearn to compete and excelle at that level.

SFVR: What does the word coachable mean to you?
BEVERLY: The ability to listen to what a coach tells me and apply it in game situations.

SFVR: What part of your game are you currently working to improve?
BEVERLY: So far, I haven't seen the ceiling on my athletic potential. I am working on every aspect of my game. My number One goal is to become a greater force at the net both offensively with more kills and a higher percentage and defensively with blocks and forcing other teams to change their shots.
