Alex Zhao '25 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play competitive volleyball in college. I played one year of club volleyball in my freshman year and since then I have become very passionate about the sport. After club volleyball I started to focus on building more muscle and improving my athletic ability. I have always been told that I am very athletic and I have what it takes to play college tennis/ volleyball. Many of my coaches were amazed by my athletic ability, this includes my PE, Team sports, and weight coaches. I never thought of playing for college until this year where one of my new coaches asked me if I was committed to anywhere for a sport he said "because your crazy athletic" , I said no but told him that i was interested in playing volleyball. Since then i signed up for NCSA and went to an invitational camp near me, the team was new and their chemistry was top tier. This school was NAIA Division 1, I got an offer but i would like to go to a school with a bigger campus and one that has my major. Training and school are my number 1 priorities right now although i have only played one year of club i am going into my second year as a starting outside hitter. I have lots to work on but i am very coachable and can adjust very easily because of my athletic ability.
