In this episode of the Under the Hat Player of the Year Spotlight Series, we're joined by Amari Frazier — a 6'3" Class of 2028 outside hitter/right side from Xavier College Prep, one of Arizona's top high school programs.

Amari talks about what it's like being part of a state title–contending team, her leadership growth from freshman to sophomore year, and how her high school squad bonds over sisterhood, food, and competitive fire. She also shares her shift from basketball to volleyball, her love for the club grind with Arizona Storm, and what she's focused on improving heading into the new season.

We go deep on:

The Durango Classic turning point

Team bonding through food (mac & cheese and pineapple, anyone?)

Her transition into leadership at Xavier

The mental side of blocking and defense

Why she looks up to Haleigh Washington and Andi Jackson

And how she's learning to trust her training when things get tough

This is Amari unfiltered — confident, hilarious, real — and ready for what's next.
