Milan Small '17 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to major in marketing, minor in communications, get my masters in business and be a chief marketing officer or brand manager for a major company. I just started playing volleyball 2 years ago, but I was voted by my team to be a captain and I love my role as a leader. I lead by example from the way I help my coach run practices to what we do both on and off the court.

I went out for a club team called 41 South and made it for the 18s Power team.  I was very proud of my accomplishment because of the limited time and it showed me that the best is yet to come for me in the sport.  We experienced a lot as a team and even won a major tournament.  My skills have really developed and I am looking forward to training more during this summer to improve my skills so I can really be ready for college.  

My leadership is what also makes me a good student/athlete.  I have had some challenges but I am grateful that I have been able to overcome them.  They have made me a stronger individual.  I have other activities that I am involved in at my school including Future Business Leaders of America, being a Junior Ambassador, being apart of Yearbook, currently in the process of training to be a teacher's assistant for math my Senior year, and being a volunteer in my community. All of these activities allow me to apply the knowledge and social skills that I learn from doing these things to every day things.  It will all help me have success in college and in life.
