Hi, my name is April. I live in Nevada. Before I was an author, volleyball journalist and volleyball consultant I was a USA National Volleyball team member, professional international indoor and beach volleyball player, copywriter/proofreader for a major advertising agency and a professional photographer in Italy. (I also worked on the show "ER" playing a trauma nurse for seven years.) One of the first things I noticed was that very few, if any, female pro volleyball athletes have written coaching or volleyball tips books that speak directly to the young student athlete. With over 3 million female high school volleyball participants in the US alone I decided to change that. My second downloadable e-booklet written specifically for high school and college volleyball players is 86 Girls Indoor Volleyball Tips: How to Gain Confidence On the Volleyball Court and is available for only $7.49 at www.volleyballvoices.com.
