Clocking the Hours and Committing the Time

TUCSON, Ariz. (July 27, 2011) – As defined in the dictionary, commitment is the “act of pledging and agreeing to someone, something or an idea fully and completely.”

For Amy Zimmer commitment is re-learning volleyball, joining a new club, driving three hours total to and from practice, three days a week, clocking hours of gym time and missing holidays and birthday parties. And to her it is all worth it.

“I would never have been able to experience this or know that I can make a career out of volleyball if I hadn’t jumped in whole-heartedly and dedicated my whole life to this,” Zimmer said.
