Alumni Spotlight Stephanie Janysek
Former Storm athlete, Stephanie Janysek, played for Storm four years. She came to us her freshman year from Sinton High School and was always one of the hardest working players on the court. Not only did she excel on the court but in her academics as well.
Stephanie talks about her experience at Storm.
“When I first walked into the Storm gym I was this shy little freshman not sure of myself or my volleyball skills. During the four years I was there, the coaches helped me gain the confidence I needed in order to pursue my dream of playing volleyball in college. I feel as if they chased my dream with me as they spent countless extra hours in the gym working with me. They truly care about each and everyone of their players. I think of them as family and am forever grateful for what Storm did for me.”
