Finding Your Passion<br />
Kerri Pottharst, ICMS Ambassador<br />
I was always into sport. I tried Athletics, High Jump (I’m 6’ tall) – but stopped that when I fell on my head<br />
one day and nearly broke my neck! I tried Netball at school, but that never went anyw<strong>here</strong>. I tried<br />
Basketball, but I didn’t like running much. I liked Tennis, but t<strong>here</strong> weren’t any opportun<strong>it</strong>ies to go far w<strong>it</strong>h<br />
that. I tried Swimming, but found <strong>it</strong> really difficult as I tended to sink too quickly. One night my older<br />
brother asked me to fill in at a social Indoor Volleyball compet<strong>it</strong>ion: “We need 6 players on the court when<br />
the whistle blows. Once that happens, you can step to the side and we’ll play”. But rather than stepping to<br />
the side, I stayed on and played. I was 15 years old and this is how my passion for Volleyball began.<br />
Have you found your Passion yet? What do you really love doing? If you’re not sure, keep trying all sorts <strong>of</strong><br />
things...<br />

plan to accomplish.”<br />
