Andi Jackson on whether she feels more confident after spending a year with Nebraska team ahead of new season
After spending one year of her collegiate volleyball career with Nebraska Cornhuskers teammates, Andi Jackson shared her thoughts on whether she feels more confident going into the new season. In an interaction with 1890 Nebraska, she responded to this (starting at 1.04):
“Yes 100%. I think last year I felt like a chicken with my head cut off. You just feel like it's one thing after another, but this year it has definitely felt more smooth, not necessarily easier, but I feel like I can manage it better and I kind of have an idea of what's happening and what's coming, so I manage it better, yeah.”
She further shared the aspect which she has been focusing on, adding:
“I'm really training my blocking. That's always something that I'm gonna be working to get better at, I think, in all my years of volleyball. And then staying consistent attacking-wise, and then, obviously, in the weight room, just trying to get stronger, faster, be able to jump higher, and never hurt.”
Notably, Jackson had a great start for the Huskers as a freshman, with an average of 2.01 kills per set and hitting percentage of 0.399, the highest ever recorded by a freshman from the university.
