Olivia Buckley '15 Recruiting Profile

Ever since the fourth grade, I have had a passion for volleyball. I started as a youth league player, but through the years I have learned more and become the athlete I am today. My love for volleyball is immense, and along with family and school work, it is one of my top three priorities. I am a committed and determined player, always trying to improve and aim for higher goals. On both my high school and club teams I try to act as a leader and role model, exemplifying how to conduct myself on and off the court. On the court I am focused and hardworking, pushing my teammates to perform their best and supporting them. Off the court I respect myself and others and try to be the best friend I can be to all of the people around me. I am always there to lend a helping hand, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on to anyone on and off the court. 

I like to think of myself as a very easy going and fun loving person, always ready to go with the flow and be spontaneous. I hope to play volleyball in college and am working towards that goal. I am a person with very deep rooted values, and trust in God's plan for my future. 

I hope to find and play for a college that gives me the opportunity to push myself in the classroom and on the court. I would like to go into a pre-vet program, and major in biology. I am very excited for college and hope it will be like my home away from home.
