Benjamin Jansen '19 Recruiting Profile

    My volleyball career started when I was young. I began to go to volleyball camps hosted by, my now varsity coach, and began playing for our modified team in seventh grade. I began to play volleyball because my I would watch my sister play, and my parents always insisted that I at least try the sport. my parents did not only influence me to play volleyball, but they also influenced me to be the best I can be, and they still do to this day. By playing the sport I have realized that, if I want something, for instance, wanting to better myself at the sport, I am going to try my hardest everyday and push myself to get better. I've realized that if I put my mind to something, I can achieve whatever I want. Therefore, I have goals that I strive to accomplish. Academically, my goal is to graduate in my class being in the top twenty five students, and in the future, move onto college and graduate with a masters degree in the field I want. However, things don't come easy and you gave to work hard to get them. I learned this when, jut before my first JV year of volleyball, I had torn my ACL. for about a year I worked hard with my Physical Therapist to get back to one hundred percent. Over the year of therapy I took, I realized that I would like to become a Physical Therapist, mostly because I like to help people. I'm a unique person because I like to help people, and I'm always giving off positive vibes. I always go out of my way for people to help them.
