Danielle Marler '20 Recruiting Profile

I am a 2020 Outside hitter. I have played for 4 club seasons and 3 high school seasons so far. Some of my accomplishments include Most Valuable Player, Coaches Award and having the honor to be a captain for 4 of those seasons so far. I am very passionate about volleyball and want to play it for as long as I possibly can. I have learned so much from this sport, whether its coming out of my shell and growing into a leader or the hard work ethic. In addition to getting onto the court (and sand) as much as possible, I take my academics really seriously and am constantly trying to challenge myself with AP and honors classes.

While I have been honored with stats awards like most kills and most aces, this isn't what I feel is my greatest accomplishments. What I can tell you is that I'm in love with the sport and all of the teamwork that goes into it. As a player I am constantly putting my teammates needs first. I play for my team. I'm also very coachable. I put in work outside of the gym as much as possible to get my vertical up and get quicker.

While some players break under pressure, I thrive. I want to be the person that my team can depend on during match points or during the middle of the game. All the personal things I have been through has shaped me into the kind of person and player that gives their all to every minute of the game and anything else I do.

Challenging myself at volleyball is one my biggest goals in college, however, I am also aiming to become a veterinarian or a MD. While I am playing for your team I will be working towards my bachelor in pre-medicine or pre-veterinary studies. In high school, I am successfully handling all my classes, homework, volunteering and volleyball. I honestly love what I do and I'm hoping that in college I can challenge myself even more.
