And then as of 5th year , I'm in the entrepreneurship program to get my master's degree . Um , my goal for this year is to go all in as well . I want to show up to all the like little events and see if I can meet any business people that could help me get a job straight out of college , but if not , I plan to go to flight school afterwards .
Going into my 5th year and knowing that I only have 10 months of being a college student athlete , I want to give it my all . My goal , especially being a beach volleyball athlete at the University of Southern California , I want to win a national championship . Um , the team has done it in the past .
Um , with this tear , I have to do a lot of rehab and recovery , um , which is taking a lot more time out of my day than . A regular healthy athletic person , so making sure that I'm doing all the little steps to make sure I'm healthy during competition is really important . So my recruiting journey is kind of unique .
Hi , my name is Ilana Embry and I am on the women's beach volleyball team for USC . The best advice that I've been given by a mentor is that there's life outside of volleyball , so make sure that you're working towards the person that you want to be when you graduate . When we condition in beach volleyball , I think that it's sometimes mental rather than physical .
To people on the court , um , not only is it sand , but you also don't get to be coached unless you're having like a side switch or a time out . But some great advice that I would give is just to go all out . Um , you never know what's possible until you do it .
