My name is Morgan McDonough and I am a 5’8” Outside Hitter/DS. I am a very disciplined student athlete and I work as hard in the classroom as I do on the court.
My key strengths are:
· Volleyball IQ
· Coachable
· Team Player
I fell in love with volleyball during spring break when I was 9 years old and now at 16 years old I am still playing. I have been playing competitive volleyball for 7 years. I have been on Varsity since my freshman year in high school. We took second in section finals my freshman and sophomore years. I was team captain for two of my club seasons.
I love learning and I have thoroughly studied every position, so I can find new ways to better my game. When I am playing outside or right-side, I love to use all of my available shots and really make the opposing team move! As a blocker, I pay very close attention to the angle of the hitter, without forgetting about my team's game plan (always block cross no matter what). I focus on this so I can make it easier on my defense.
Defense and serve receive is one of my favorite things to do on the court. I love anticipating the ball and getting up those crazy shots. My favorite part about playing back row is passing a great ball to my setter and watching the magic happen in the front row. Serving is one of my strongest assets. I have aggressive serves and I really enjoy the challenge of spot serving. My main goal when I get on to the court is to do whatever I can to help my teammates and better the ball.
I enjoy being part of a team and I strive to be a good teammate and leader on and off the court. In my spare time, I like to be with my friends and family as well as being involved in various service projects. Service work is very important to me and I feel fortunate to be able to give back. My busy schedule keeps me accountable and disciplined and I like it that way. My goal is for my hard work and preparation to pay off and I can follow my dream to play in college at the highest competitive level possible. At this point, I am open to all types of schools and locations. The most important thing is to find the right fit.
I am so excited to move forward in pursuing a future in college volleyball!
