Diego Ortiz '17 Recruiting Profile

    Ever since I was a little boy, I've dreamed of playing for a collegiate athletics program. I believe that being involved with sports can help me as a student in many different ways. Unlike what many people say or think, I believe that doing sports in college does not take time away from your studies, but actually takes away time from doing other negative things like partying and drinking, etc. Another thing that I like about being in a sports team is the sense of family that it brings as well as the discipline that it requires. 

    I believe that I could be a good fit for any serious collegiate athletics programs because I am a hard worker and a very disciplined person. Due to my past experience playing for a professional team, I understand the discipline and respect one must have in order to play at this higher level. One more thing that gives me an edge over my opponents is that I have a bit more experience and have seen more things because of the more advanced and faster plays of professional volleyball.
