Somona Acheson '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing volleyball since I was 8 years old. Since I first stepped onto the court, I felt a rush of excitement I had never experienced before. I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college will be a big change and that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.

I have strong mental toughness, a difficult serve, and amazing ball reading skills. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and assist my coaches and teammates to success. I strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you'll find. 

I work hard year round on my volleyball skills, participating in High School and Club Volleyball, also participating in Soccer. I also participate in weight lifting which all contributes to my athleticism.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a 3.8 GPA. I also volunteer at the local middle school volleyball team in the summer, help out at my church, and love to volunteer in my community.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the volleyball court. I am open to all options and want to find the ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possibly. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers, in my community, and my family proud.
