Finleigh Benkwitt '24 Recruiting Profile

Becoming an athlete changed my life. I wasn't one until about seventh grade when I took a chance on volleyball. It opened so many doors for me. I learned to be successful is being able to teach and listen, be strong and strategic. I've been playing varsity volleyball since freshman year. As the seasons have gone on I have gained confidence in myself and the player I had become. 

This sport helped me in life too. It brought me out of my shell. I became more outspoken in class. I started advocating for myself. I have worked hard to build my volleyball IQ over the years, and have created a presence for myself on the court. My coaches trust me to get my job done on the court and look at me as a reliable player they can count on. 

I believe my perseverance, determination, passion and overall love for this sport along with all of the knowledge I receive from those around me make me a good candidate for volleyball at the collegiate level. I strive to work in sports in the future, possibly being able to bring my passion into it as well.
