Michael Savio '14 Recruiting Profile

2011-12 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Volleyball has always been a passion for me ever since I can remember. From peppering with my dad and learning what a "pancake" was for the first time to playing club and varsity volleyball now, I have known that I'd like to continue playing volleyball for as long as I can. I am truly open to any school and division, from Division 1 to the club level. I will work very hard, play with passion and enthusiasm, and strive to be the best I can be on and off the court. Personally, one of my primary values is that everything in life is earned, not given, and I will work as hard as I can to earn a chance to play for a team at the collegiate level. I also pride myself on my academics, and I can balance challenging coursework with volleyball. I am currently looking into film as a potential major, but I am also open to English, Writing, or Pre-Law as potential majors/programs. My competitive spirit and passion to constantly improve drive my work ethic and are the reasons I would like to continue playing volleyball at the collegiate level.
