Malia Hedges '20 Recruiting Profile

My first year playing volleyball in 7th grade inspired me to try my hardest to continue this sport. I fell in love with it right away, the aggressiveness, the adrenaline that pumps when you make a kill, the teamwork skills created and the friendships made in the process. The headaches from celebrating too loudly, the many opportunities that are available on the court. What spot to hit next, the tricks you can apply on to the court, the thrill of the sport is what made me fall in love with it. 

My collegiate goals are to have the best college experiences possible. I've always wanted to play a sport in college after high school, and I've improved so much over the years, and grown to love the sport so much to the point of continuing. What would make me a good candidate for their team, is I am the biggest celebrater known in my high school. I always try to get my teammates up when they're down because if one player has their head down and starts to get a bad attitude, the whole team begins to also. I'm always willing to help others in need, in and outside of school work. What makes me different from other recruits, is that I look for ways to volunteer myself for organizations and businesses whenever I'm available. I love the thrill of the sport, and I'd love to continue it after high school.
