Leyla Slavish '26 Recruiting Profile

I have a passion for Volleyball and love that I can play it in college and beyond.  I have recently started loving volleyball after years of being a competitive gymnast. I love the team aspect of the sport. The reason I brought up the fact that I use to be a gymnast is that in gymnastics you didn't have any teammates to help you through. But in volleyball, I have people to cheer me up and I love how I get a lot of socialization.  And as a team captain, I love that I can help others. Also, my coach has taught me and my team that attitude changes everything and it has helped us a lot. I am the type of person to cheer people up when they're down and our positive attitude has led to winning games.
