Jacob Firby '22 Recruiting Profile

I strive to constantly improve not only myself, but those that surround me. I choose to connect with people who help me to become the best version of myself and I challenge myself daily to contribute the most that I can to all that I am a part of. I am driven by results and I understand the need for learning, hard work, and practice. When I become part of a team, I take pride in not only my own skills, but also the talent and grit that the entire group has to have in order to succeed.

Similarly to in athletics, I have always strived for the top in academics. I involve myself in as many AP and rigorous courses as possible and I reach the highest goals that I set. Without the self-drive that I have learned from the beginning, I would have been able to continue in my volleyball career because it is so against the grain in Michigan.
