Madisen Skinner recently discussed what the lowest point of her career was and how she recovered from it. In an interview with her sister, Avery Skinner, on USA Volleyball, she said: (0:59 onwards)

"I've had a lot of those. I think a low point that was most recent would probably be my senior year of college. I felt like there was just a lot going on in my personal life, in NIL. I was traveling. I was doing a lot of really cool things. But I felt like my focus and my attention was all over the place. And I feel like that distracted me in some ways from my job and my responsibilities in school and homework and all those things. And just kind of lost focus." "And so I think obviously I wasn't playing as much my senior year, which was my fifth year. And just kind of hit a low point, not had a lot of motivation, was really focusing myself on things that made me happy. And I was able to get out of it. But for a while there it was tough and I just appreciated having my teammates around me and people that were supporting me in my corner just to give me that encouragement, help me through it."

Madisen Skinner ended her final season with the Texas Longhorns on a high note, making it to the AVCA All-Region Team as well as the AVCA DI National Player of the Year Watch List.
