Among the great servers who have captured the attention of volleyball fans is Brazil’s Amanda Francisco, whose serving style is unique.
The distinct elements of Amanda’s serve include dribbling the ball low and a few short steps before releasing the ball. She serves with consistency, efficiency and with a whole lot of finesse and style.
“My serve is different! I don’t know how I started this serving routine, but in my mind I just wanted to be the best server I can be for my team. I am not really conscious of it, but what’s important is that it is effective. But hey, everybody loves my serve because it’s unique. Everyone knows it’s me,” said Amanda, speaking at the FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Cup in Japan in September.
“I can actually do a normal serve and I’ve done it in other tournaments. And this kind of serve, sometimes I feel pain in my back doing it, because it’s hard, but I make these sacrifices because the results are good,” she added.
