Amy Boswell Usevitch: High Knees and Hard Work
Her Y • Season 5, Episode 19In this installment of our BYU Athletics Hall of Fame series, we sit down with Amy Boswell Usevitch. Amy never set out to make history —she just wanted to play volleyball with her sister. But what started as a childhood dream in Aloha, Oregon, turned into one of the most decorated careers in BYU women's volleyball history. Three All-American selections, four consecutive NCAA Sweet 16 appearances, and a 2014 season that took the Cougars to their first-ever national championship match, all while earning a nursing degree. In this episode, Amy talks about balancing Division I athletics with nursing school, the coaches and professors who made it possible, and the faith she leaned on when four hours of sleep had to be enough. From stuff blocks to scrubs to raising four kids, Amy shares what it means to take life one day at a time.
