Tessa hoover '26 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'0 ambidextrous middle hitter/blocker from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  I first tried dance, karate, softball, basketball and gymnastics; but I gave it all up when I found Volleyball in 7th grade.  I have played at a few different clubs but finally found my home at Pittsburgh Elite Volleyball Association this year.  I am a member of Mt. Lebanon varsity volleyball team.   Due to team injuries this year, I had to broaden my skills and began playing outside hitter as well as middle.  I have a 4.7 GPA, a member of Student Government and Young life.  I enjoy camping in the summer and taking my dog to the trails.  I am looking for a team and coach who are supportive yet push me to limits I don't realize yet. I am driven to succeed and can do better about not being so hard on myself.   I am coachable with a volleyball IQ as well as a keen sense of humor.   I am also a kind and curious leader and volleyball lets me practice that every day.
