When you are a libero, your primary role is to excel in defensive skills, especially in receiving serves, getting digs and sneaky tips. Her position requires quick reflexes, and the ability to read the game effectively.

The mentality pressure of being a key defensive player means she must maintain high focus and composure, even during intense matches.
Lane is on the court for the majority of the game, so it is her responsibility to lead the team and try to make sure everyone has a positive attitude to the best of her ability. Despite these challenges, Lane’s dedication and hard work make her an invaluable asset to her team.
