Mikal O'Boyle

When asked about her proudest volleyball moment, Mikal's response was "Being chosen as vice captain of the Irish team". Her favourite thing about competing is "The challenge of developing our team into a well-oiled machine that has mastered the mental game of the sport." and Mikal's biggest volleyball role model is her mother. Like many athletes, Mikal does have a pre-game ritual that she swears by and that is always listening to music to get her pumped up!

Favourite Quote: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
