Liam Wielert '25 Recruiting Profile

My volleyball interest began while playing in middle school on a team coached by my mom.  She had me play setter, which was her position in grade school, high school, and club.  When I was able to go to my current high school, volleyball again became an interest.  I began going to open gyms over the summer and developed a relationship with my fellow teammates to start the season on JV and also serve as floating player up to varsity for the whole season.  As a result, I received my varsity letter as a freshman and was encouraged to play club by my varsity coach. 

While volleyball is a love and interest, I also take joy in my academics.  So far this year I have maintained solid As and Bs.  My hope is to continue playing so I may learn more and become a better play, while also growing mentally.  I know being on the shorter side at this point that I have a disadvantage, but my mental knowledge will hopefully overcome the limitations I may face.

Outside of school and volleyball I enjoy spending time with my father, mother and two younger brothers.  I have great friends who are encouraging and who also play both volleyball and baseball with me.  Beyond playing sports and family time, I find leisure in watching stock car racing and listening to music.

Overall, I am a team player, willing and open to learning, and take direction well.  Thank you for any opportunity given.
