Recruiting Guide

Daughter to Dan Palmer, is a Division One student athlete from the University of Memphis and the Founder of Athletic Advice By Anna. Her playing career started when she was just 6 years old, ending over 15 years later. She recently graduated from the University of Memphis, where she received a BA in psychology and a minor in criminology and criminal justice.

Before attending college, Anna played right side on two Assumption High School state championship teams. She was a right side on KIVA’s 17-1 team that finished third place in AAU’s. She was awarded numerous accolades during her club and high school career, but her favorite was the 2015 AthLeader Award she was nominated for by Melissa Stark-Bean and received at Nationals.

Her Division One collegiate playing career started at Seattle University, where she was named to the Freshmen All-Conference Team. She transferred to The University of Memphis for her sophomore season, to be a starter for a new coach who had been at Ohio State as an assistant. Anna played left side as a six rotation player for much of her college career.

After graduating, Anna made the decision to stay involved with the sport she loves through coaching and recruiting. Her goal is to help future collegiate athletes be set up for success in college and grow them as both players and people before they graduate high school. Since taking over as Recruiting Coordinator for MAVA Volleyball through Athletic Advice By Anna, we have had a 100% commitment rate of players that want to play in college!
