Marisa Rodriguez '17 Recruiting Profile

My goal as a student is to attend a college that will provide the upmost programs for obtaining a pre-med or pre-dentistry degree for becoming an Anesthesiologist, Physical Therapist, or an Orthodontist (or Orthodontic assistant).

As a dedicated athletic in the sport of volleyball, I strongly believe that I would be a great addition to your team.  I am well-rounded in the sport of volleyball and am flexible and eager to learn as much as I can to improve upon my current skill level and also in areas of the sport that I am not as strong in.  My goals are to continue to improve on my leadership skills in the sport as well as in academics and within any social settings. I believe that being a leader is to first be a servant to those I lead. I must be able to understand the lowest of positions in order to achieve the goal and respect within the highest of positions. I believe working with my teammates and classmates so that everyone acheives their goals and has the resources to be a leader is what I bring to the table for any group or sport that I would take on.  I firmly believe the saying, "there is no I in the word TEAM". We must work together to achieve. 

I always feel that it is necessary to push yourself. Learning to work well under pressure and difficult situations are the best learning tools that anyone can acquire and I feel that I have mastered the ability to embrace the good and the bad and create scenarios that project positive outcomes for myself and those around me. Volleyball is a part of who I am. I have spent many years working towards improving my skills to be the best option that anyone can be to play college ball. I am eager to continue learning and growing and to work hard towards being a part of a team that will strive to work as ONE to accomplish much. 

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and for considering all that I have to offer your team and school.
