Her determination paid off as the coach eventually allowed her to play. This led to her becoming a starter and winning the national championship. She was later selected to represent the national team. Have you ever had to prove someone wrong? What steps did you take to stay in the ring?

Have you ever been cut from a team that meant a lot to you? That’s what happened to Lina Taylor, but she showed up the next day anyway. Her perseverance would later serve her well as she transitioned from being a volleyball player in communist-controlled Bulgaria to competing in the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics in beach volleyball. She learned a valuable lesson: “Not only are opportunities not going to be given to me,” she said, “but sometimes they could be taken away.” It would be the Catalyst to her understanding that if she wanted something, she would have to create it.
