Marlee Schneider '19 Recruiting Profile

I have always dreamed about playing college volleyball.  I have been playing volleyball since I was 6 years old, coming with my mom to practices and games.  I have learned a lot by being the water girl in elementary, watching and admiring players who played before me.  Seeing them excel on the court from their work ethic and playing together as a team are some of the things that have stuck in my head of how I want to be as an athlete.  My goal is to find a college where I can earn a good education, have a good bond with the coach and even more, my teammates.  It is important to me that my teammates are like family to me.

I am a determined athlete, having goals and working hard to achieve them is something I enjoy.  The greatest feeling is leaving the court knowing that all of my teammates worked hard together for what we accomplished.  As a setter, I feel it is my job to be a leader of the team and get everyone excited, motivated and involved in the game.

I believe academics comes first so I work extremely hard in the classroom to keep my grades at the highest level I can.  I have taken summer courses so I can work ahead in school so that I am able to take dual credit classes my junior and senior year in order to push myself academically.  I am active in my church and enjoy doing community service projects to better the small community in which we live.  The community is so supportive of me as an athlete, I want to be able to be a good steward and represent our community in a positive manner.
