Stella Collier-Lake '26 Recruiting Profile

My love and interest in volleyball has increased with every team I play for, and every game and tournament I attend. Ever since my first 13s club team, I knew that this was my passion, and each year following, the passion grew exponentially. I regularly attended private lessons, and constantly asked my coaches for “just one more ball”. This was fueled by my desire to excel and grow in the sport. 

Both on and off the court, I have natural leadership tendencies, and desire to take charge of any situation. This attribute has given me the ability to quickly adapt to any situation, and make the most of it. I am the first person to hustle onto the court for a drill or fill in for a missing teammate's position.

My sociable personality has brought me to be good friends and form strong relationships with my teammates. Volleyball has brought me some of my closest friends, who I would never have met otherwise. I strive to be the loudest on the court and lead cheers on the sidelines.

When I’m not playing volleyball, I enjoy spending time with my 3-year-old sister and going on walks with my two dogs. I am very close with my family and take pride in my relationship with my parents.

My ideal school would challenge me both academically and on the volleyball court. I am eager to play at the highest and most competitive level. Most importantly, I want to become a role model for my little sister and show her that she can grow up and do whatever she sets her mind to.
