Get to know SJO volleyball player Shayne Immke

What do you think makes the team so successful?

We all have such amazing talent and team chemistry and we are able to feed off each others energy.

What is your favorite thing about volleyball and the team?

My favorite thing about volleyball is that not one person can do it along and it teaches you to trust your teammates. My favorite thing about my team is the fire we have to get the job done.

Do you have any pre-game rituals?

Yes, Peyton braids my hair.

What has been the most important thing Coach McDonald has taught you?

Coach McDonald has taught me that anything is possible and to always have confidence in yourself.

What is the most challenging part about playing volleyball at SJO?

I would say the most challenging part about playing at SJO is that everyone wants to beat us and will give us their best game; but, that makes us better as a team.
