Bianca Olivares '16 Recruiting Profile

      I've aspired to gain a potential scholarship which will allow me to continue playing volleyball at the collegiate level. My college, at the moment is suspending it's operations, so I am looking to continue mt collegiate career. Volleyball was always a second home and my oasis from the real world, it has brought me multiple opportunities and close friendships. My goal is stepping on the court knowing that all the hard work I've put into volleyball had put me where I am today.

      I'm a determined, strategic player, who wants to further advance in volleyball but also help newcomers and teammates with the knowledge I have gained since I started playing volleyball. Volleyball is a sport where teammates depend on one another, therefore, I like to connect with every player on my team, to be able to have the trust of them knowing that I will be there for them on and off the court.

      My sort of character comes off as very soft spoken but I gradually get comfortable with my surroundings and take the role of the leader to guide my fellow teammates on a road of success. My dad always tells me that "Academics comes before athletics" I always strive to be successful in my classes so that my academics are well taken care of and I can focus on improving myself for volleyball, as well as what I can do for my teammates to help them improve their game.
