Emma Olson '19 Recruiting Profile

My name is Emma Olson and I love volleyball! Volleyball has become a passion and I have always been the first one into and the last one out of the gym.  My work ethic has come from my need to excel and my drive to always be better. I always set my goals then the steps to achieve them, like with my grades.  I am always studying and preparing to get all A's while also taking challenging classes that will benefit me in my future. My teammates become my family. I will always encourage and support them, and my coaches become my mentors. Being coachable is very important to me. I continually strive to change and improve. I want to contribute to my team and improve the program through my support and skills. I have goals in my life, and I feel I have always known what they are: a student athlete in college; a master in marine biology and conservation; finally to fight for protections for ocean ecosystems and continue to enhance and further the study of marine biology. My belief is that you live forever through your impacts and actions. I will always fight for what I believe in.
