Hi my name is Aydan Espinal. I am 16 years old and am very excited for my future volleyball career. I have played volleyball for almost 9 years and my dream has always been to play in college. Volleyball is truly my passion and I hope to continue to play for as long as possible. I think that I am different from other recruits in many different ways. First, I am willing to put in as many hours of practice as it takes to become a great athlete. I know that many hours are going to be spent in the gym with my team and I am ready to give my all every time I step on the court. In addition, I am also different from other recruits because I believe that academics are just as important. I admit that I would much rather be playing volleyball than studying, but I understand the importance of academics. I also try to show similar characteristics in class as in the gym. For example, I always try my hardest in all of my classes as I do on the court. I think that the reasons would make me a good candidate for a team on the collegiate level. I want to get better every time I step on the court and play every day like it's my last time playing.
