Hi, I'm Olivia and sports have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up either baseball or football was always on the TV. I remember as a kid my parents always brought me to every baseball game we could go to. As I've gotten older I've seen how sports help unite people and uplift them. I just recently started playing volleyball and that is when I truly saw how having a team support you even when you make mistakes really changes a person. You learn to have more confidence and are less afraid to make mistakes, I can confidently say that I would not be the same person I am today without this amazing sport. The more I play this sport the more I realize that I want to play at a higher level. I love being challenged and want to see how playing volleyball for whatever college I attend will help challenge me and keep me grounded as a student-athlete. The combination of sports and academics is something I've been balancing my whole life so I know I am able to handle the workload. If you're looking for someone who loves to take criticism and help a team win together then I'm exactly who you should be recruiting.
