Diego Alvarez '24 Recruiting Profile

       Ever since I was little,  I always dreamed about playing volleyball at a high college level, but I knew I had to work hard in order to achieve that goal. My aspirations for college are to pursue my passion and compete at a high level in college but to also earn a bachelor's degree in pre-medicine in order to be able to attend med school and finally become a dermatologist. What makes me a good candidate for a team is the desire to keep improving each day on my skills and other techniques that can help me become a better volleyball player. For me, it is important to work and practice hard because it can help us become better not only as individual players but as a team. What makes me different from other recruits is my charisma and hard work on and off the court. I can tell you that I have gone through a lot of experiences in my volleyball journeys such as having the opportunity to represent Puerto Rico in Guatemala at the Panamerican Cup 2022 and going to a lot of tournaments outside of Puerto Rico such as in California, Milwaukee, and Florida. Off the court, I am very charismatic and disciplined. I love meeting new people and at the same time, I take my studies very seriously in order to improve as a student, athlete, and as a human being.
