Carlos Messer Cruz '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'2 middle hitter from Honolulu, Hawaii and I will graduate high school in 2024. I want to go to a college that will provide me with the best education in my major, Sports Medicine. I plan on being a Chiropractor/Physical Trainer once my volleyball career is done.  My aspiration is to play volleyball at the professional level and God willing, the Olympics. 

I would make a good candidate for college because I am a hard worker on and off the court. I know that I am a student first and then an athlete so keeping good grades is my priority.  I have only been playing since my freshman year so I hit the gym hard this summer. My hard work paid off because I made varsity as a sophomore. I study our film and watch successful players online so that I can improve my game. 

Even though I am not the captain I do my best to keep my teammates spirits up on the court if we are losing. If we do lose, I reflect on what we could have done better and work on improving those areas.
