Noah Barlow '25 Recruiting Profile

“Just because there is a problem does not mean it has to take us 5 steps back but instead 5 steps forward” 

 I strive to embody this quote every time I step on the court. No matter if my team wins or loses, I never let it discourage me. 

I believe that my strong work ethic, leadership skills, and positive attitude make me an asset to any team that I may be placed into. I have only been playing club volleyball since 2022 but I never use that as an excuse. I am constantly seeking ways to improve, whether it be through additional training, studying game strategies, or seeking guidance from coaches and mentors. As a dedicated athlete, I have spent countless hours honing my skills, pushing my limits, and striving for excellence both on and off the court.

Volleyball has taught me the importance of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Through grueling practices, tough matches, and inevitable setbacks, I have learned to thrive under pressure, to never give up, and to always support my teammates. These lessons have not only shaped me as an athlete but also as a person.

Beyond my athletic prowess, academics have always been a top priority for me. This combination of athleticism and intellectual curiosity is what sets me apart from other recruits.

I am confident that my combination of athletic talent, academic achievements, and personal qualities make me an ideal candidate for whatever team I may be placed on.
