Amber Tomlin '18 Recruiting Profile

At this point in my life, I'm not sure what my area of study will be.  I love math and science and Spanish and am very involved in my school's key club.  My parents are both teachers, so education has always been a priority in my life.  From an early age, I have played volleyball, softball and basketball. When I entered high school, I found myself playing varsity as freshman in both basketball and volleyball and so I decided to stop playing softball to concentrate on playing club and travel to better prepare myself for my high school teams.  I feel that I have risen to the challenge of playing at such a high level and being so young.  My freshman year, I was in the top 10 in the area for assists per game.  As a sophomore, I was in the top 5 in the area and as a junior, I was ranked 2nd in the area.  I have amassed over 1700 assists in three years and have become very good at using all of my hitters.  I have wanted to be a setter for as long as I can remember.  I love being responsible for running an offense.  I feel that my athleticism and my volleyball IQ allows me to be a valuable asset to any team.  I pride myself on getting every second touch so my teammates can focus on their role, rather than setting the ball.  I believe in the saying, "You play the way you practice", so I make every effort to model a good work ethic in practice so that my teammates will hopefully work as hard as I do.
