Sophia Kobienia '21 Recruiting Profile

   **UPDATE:  My senior high school (HS) season has been reinstated! I have update my events tab to include my HS matches.

  I love to compete and be part of a team.  I was a tennis player in middle school, a track and field athlete through junior high, and a hockey player until my sophomore year of high school.  I started playing volleyball in 7th grade and it quickly became my favorite sport.   To this day, I am excited to practice, train for, and play volleyball.   

Academically, I am interested in nursing, psychology, and education.  I hope to have a better idea of which career I want to pursue after job shadowing in those areas.

I continue to show skill improvements (especially as I transitioned from setter to RS).   I want to be used as a first attack option similar to the use of outside hitters.  As a left-handed right side, I create different/additional opportunities during an attack, and my athleticism and soft hands are bonuses on broken plays and during defensive sets.

I started training in late 2019 with a former DII volleyball player who also has her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She specializes in sports medicine/orthopedics. The strength, quickness, agility, and power gains I have made with her training should make my senior season a memorable one.

I hope to visit with you about my future.
