She stated that not letting your sport decide your whole identity, and for her, finding happiness outside of volleyball is important. She encouraged the young athletes to follow the same approach, because she believes that life is more than just the sport an athlete plays. “I would honestly just say that you are putting in and you’re prioritizing yourself outside of your sport,” Murray said. “I think I’ve learned to be super content with my life outside of volleyball. So, volleyball does not define me, and that’s not the only thing going on in my life. So, really finding things outside of your sport that can help you and make you happy outside of the sport you play, because at the end of the day, there’s way more to life than just your sport. ” (3:13 onwards)Harper Murray is serving as a junior outside hitter for the Nebraska Huskers.
