She shares with us how that dream became a reality and how she began playing volleyball professionally at 16. This also came with struggles, having been the youngest on the team. However, she was determined never to quit. Her resilience carried her further as she later played in Finland and now in Spain. Julie’s story inspires us that we can achieve much if only we dare to dream.Key Points:Julie’s dream when she was a younger athleteMaking the dream a realityJulie talks about being a role modelFalling in love with volleyballPlaying pro at 16Why Julie refused to quitFiguring who you are outside of the sport you playNavigating agents when trying to go proPlaying in FinlandAdvice to younger athletesWhat’s next for Julie?Quotes:“I want to inspire more kids to dream big, because I also felt that with my dreams, I was very lonely.”“It's a very weird feeling.
