Moving to a new country as a freshman student-athlete means adapting to far more than just a higher level of volleyball.
In this clip, @louisakanoko opens up about the challenges of coming to the @hawaiimvb and adjusting to life in a completely new environment.
A new country. A new language. A new culture. And the pressure of competing for the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors men's volleyball.
Louis shares what that transition was like and how he worked through the early challenges to find his footing both on and off the court. His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience and courage it takes for international student-athletes to pursue their dreams.
