  • Sarah Wilhite Parsons isn’t the loudest person on the court. Being overly vocal just isn’t in her nature, and she knows that. Sarah is, though, very self-assured, and she has a strong sense of who she is and what she wants from life. She’s used that to great effect. From leading by example to meeting her future husband while in college, Sarah’s been able to live her life according to her own faith and values while maintaining a professional career overseas. Now, with LOVB Madison, her career comes full-circle, and she’ll end it by playing in front of the family and friends she treasures more than anything else. Discussion topics include:

    Breaking into volleyball Benefits of high-level club volleyball Finding her voice as a leader by example Meeting her future husband in college Having a support system overseas Kinships and cardsharps on Team USA Finally playing in Madison Sarah's Legacy
