Daniela Rios-Rivera '21 Recruiting Profile

Hello everyone! Thanks for taking the time to review my profile.

I'm a 17-year old Senior from Denmark High School-Alpharetta, GA. I was introduced to volleyball at 9-years old back in my beautiful Puerto Rico and I've been playing ever since. I played club and at school back in the Island and once my family and I relocated to Georgia in late 2017, I kept reaching out to clubs and, with my family's support, I continued playing (yay me!). I currently play at IVC (John's Creek), as part of 18-1 Shelby, as Defense Specialist and Right Side Hitter. Volleyball has given me the opportunity to travel, meet new people and to learn how to keep a positive mindset under pressure. I'm a versatile player able to execute and adjust as my coaches need me to for the benefit of the team, even if that means to be placed as a pinhitter from a DS in the middle of a heated game.

My goal is to continue my volleyball career in college while I earn my degree in Exercise Science or related fields like Physiology and/or Kinesiology. I can contribute to my future team as a smart, vibrant, and energetic player, open to improve and to learn from my coaches as my mentors and from my future teammates.
