Millie Gay '27 Recruiting Profile

My goal for my future is to play college volleyball and become a doctor when i am older. I want to experience a one in a lifetime opportunity and play the sport i love as long as i possibly can. I work hard every day, getting myself one step closer to achieving my goal. I try my best to block out all the unnecessary distractions like, relationships, parties, and other bad influences. I mainly focus on my health, my faith in Christ, school, family, and of course volleyball. A couple things about me, is that I put everyone else before myself. I will go through whatever it takes to satisfy my team, or someone else's needs. I love to be loud and encourage my team to keep their heads held high, even though we might be losing. I always maintain a positive attitude even in a negative situation. I set apart from other athletes because I never complain about how hard a drill, or a team is because I know that going through it will only make me better. Something that i try to use on a daily basis is a strong mindset, and strong mental health. My motto I use every time I step foot on the court is " How bad do you want it". Any position my coach needs me to play whether is back row, outside, or even libero, i will not complain and I will use it as a learning experience. I try to stay focused on my academics, after volleyball, i come home and i study every night so i am a step ahead when i go to school the next day. Overall, I am different from other recruits because I am a very coachable person, I will listen to whatever the coach tells me to do, I make good grades, I have an impeccable work ethic and am willing to work hard every day.
