Have you ever watched a volleyball game? Well it’s my favorite sport to watch and play. I play outside hitter; my hero is Roni Jones Perry. She plays on the BYU women volleyball team as an outside hitter. She was a starter as a freshman in College. She married Todd Perry. She went to high school at Cooper High School. She grew up and still lives in West Jordan Utah.
Roni Perry dreamed of being a gymnast for 11 years. As she grew up her parents couldn’t afford for her to do gymnastics anymore so she tried softball. They through Roni as an outfield player. No one could through as far and as hard as Roni could. She went to the gym with her mom, and her mom’s friend told her she had a really strong arm. Her arm was strong enough to be a really good hitter. Roni tried volleyball and she loved it. Roni said “I just love hitting the ball hard.” “And I love the team aspect of it. Because as a gymnast my whole life, I never really had a solid team-sport feel. In volleyball everybody on your team has to do something. That was really inspiring to me.” Roni’s Junior year in High school she started getting Collage recruiters attention. Jones Perry got accepted to BYU Collage. But she was scared to go. Mostly everybody is Mormon and Roni is not. She was scared nobody would except her into the school being non-Mormon. She said “I knew that it could be a little difficult being on a team where everybody is strongly LDS. I knew that if I went to BYU, in some way or another, religion was going to be a pretty big factor in everything I did. Even My best friend poked at me.” The fear of going to a school that had different standards than she had is very difficult, but she round that by accepting other by their difference they would also accept her for her standards and beliefs. Roni overcame challenges on which sport she was going to plus and she also overcame his fear of going to a school with a bunch of unknowns.
When you play on a team everybody has their own set of responsibilities, and rules. Learning how to work together and to reply on your teammates are extremely important. As team captain Roni loved to work her team. She became a strong leader and helped to build strong relationships with all the players. This has helped me realize that having a strong relationship with your teammates is really important. I have to trust Avina to set me the ball perfectly.
Roni Jones Perry is my role model because she is just amazing. Roni was really short and she worked her body to become 6 ft. and a starter on BYU. I want to be lik3e her. An outside hitter that has a high vertical. She has a high enough vertical that she could dunk a basketball. I want to be just like Ronnie Jones Perry.
In conclusion Roni Jones Perry is an amazing volleyball player. Out of the years she has played she has 192 digs, 69 blocks, 17 assist, 473 kills, and .342 HPCT. She has won Many awards including Most Valuable player 3 years in a row. She was named all region 3 years in a row and named the player of the year. Roni loves volleyball and I hope to be like her
