Darla Swanek '23 Recruiting Profile

I am a focused young athlete who puts her all into everything. I have set my life up in a way that I believe I have pushed myself to become the best version of myself each time I step on and off the court. I know that I have a very unique personality because of the habits and creativity it consists of. My mom has pushed me to become the player I am today, she has showed me that nothing can conquer your inner self. My mom has proven to me that I can become the player I want to be. Ever since I started volleyball I knew that each time I was playing the game I had a role, I was never just one of 6 individuals on the court. I have learned that playing volleyball is what I want to pursue in my future at a higher level along with studying biology. I have always believed that the sport of volleyball creates positive challenges and a chance to meet new people for each and every player. I have always taken the role of team leader when it had came to huddles or timeouts, I knew that if I saw an open zone I needed to share that with my team. Volleyball has always created a joyful environment for me and I love contributing the love to other players!
