Ada Stopschinski '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi! My name is Ada Stopschinski and I am a 2023 graduate.  After I graduate high school, I plan on going to college, majoring in Journalism and playing volleyball. Since the 7th grade, I have taken the highest level classes offered.  Academics are the main focus for me and as of right now I have a 3.7 GPA.  I plan on taking the SAT in Fall of 2021 or Spring 2022.  

I have been playing high-level club volleyball since I was 14.  I have been playing high school volleyball on the varsity team since I was a Sophomore.  When it comes to volleyball, I am a very outgoing and dedicated athlete.  I am looking to play for a team that is close-knit, with players that play for the team.  I am ready to give 120% at every practice and game, and be super-committed to winning. I enjoy working hard and I am constantly finding ways to improve my game.  

The attributes that I have as a volleyball player are that coaches tell me I am coachable and have a high volleyball IQ. They also say I am a momentum changer.  Hopefully it shows in my highlight videos, but I have always been the hardest hitter on every team I have played (or at least one of the two hardest hitters).  I pride myself on also being a smart hitter, knowing where to place the ball.  I used to play OH but coaches have moved me to OPP, I was told it was for my blocking skills.  So I have embraced playing right side and I am focused on being the best blocker and scorer I can be.  

I am always looking ahead to the future, excited and ready to take on what the world decides to throw at me next.
