My name is Erika Lynn Schmidt and I am a born and raised
Fallston girl. Although, when you
ask me what I call home I will answer the volleyball court. Home is an escape, a
place to relax and find peace—I have found that on the court. For the five
years I played competitively it was my home; now my home has become something
different. I’m a coach at St. Paul's. I am on the sidelines coaching a new generation as they find their home, but I
am still close enough that I find comfort in being there.
That's great you found your home in the volleyball court.
ReplyDeleteIts so great that you love volleyball so much and have turned your passion for playing into a passion for coaching. Hopefully the kids you coach are able to feed off of your love for volleyball! It would be cool to continue to coach on the side throughout your life, keep the passion alive!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see another person has a sport in which she defines as a home! I know exactly the feeling. I saw previously you play tennis. You should try out for club tennis at UMBC!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty cool that you turned your passion for your favorite sport into a way to help others get better at the same thing.
