Justin Dada '27 Recruiting Profile

My love for volleyball sprouted upon watching my cousin's varsity team play on their senior night match. Watching my cousin’s varsity team make an incredible comeback on their senior night made it an unforgettable experience. Being down two sets, 0-2, and then regrouping in the locker room was a powerful demonstration of resilience and teamwork. This experience highlighted the true essence of sports beyond just the physical game. It showcased how mental toughness, unity, and perseverance play critical roles in overcoming adversity. Additionally, it showed the impact and importance of a positive mindset and every player's commitment to the team. Being a part of an environment like that, where I can experience firsthand the camaraderie, strategic thinking, and sheer will to win, is something I aspire to.
