Barbara Poggi of Gilbert, Arizona, has been a Unified partner in volleyball since 2024. The enthusiasm of those around her caught on, and she has since added volunteering with beach volleyball and swimming to her list. She is proud of the encouragement and enthusiasm Unified partners and athletes show towards each other when accomplishing new things.
Barbara most admires her coaches, Teresa and Stephen, for always keeping inclusion at the heart of everything and being great examples of how to work together as a team. She is excited to bring that teamwork to Poland and share their heart and determination for the sport with competitors from all over the world.
