Olivia Jackson '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello, I’m Olivia and here is a little of what volleyball means to me and exactly why I want to take it to the next level! Volleyball is such a huge and impactful part of my life. It helps me to manage my weekly schedule and pushes me to be at my best physically and mentally. Volleyball is one of the things in my life that I never get tired of and something I have a TRUE passion for. I feel most like myself when I’m playing volleyball! Although, over the past two years, I have played an essential role for my team, even when I find myself off the court I never let my passion die....I’m just as into the game, if not more!! The love of volleyball isn’t just about playing the game, I love the family atmosphere created when I'm competing with my teammates!!  Volleyball is also an opportunity for me to be my BEST and TRUEST self.  It has strengthened my faith when it comes to my relationship with God and has humbled me while boosting my confidence at the same time...it’s a crazy dynamic! I find myself learning lesson after lesson from the sport. At the end of the day I want to win so when I’m playing volleyball there’s no limit to the things I’ll do hustle wise. Competition is huge to me! It’s about raising the bar for myself every opportunity I get.  Playing for so long and being as dedicated as I am only seems like a blessing, looking back, and I can’t wait to continue at a new level when looking into my future!
