Gertrude (Gertie) Savitch '19 Recruiting Profile

Two of my major goals as a collegiate volleyball player is to one: be involved with a dedicated and competitive volleyball program. And two: be a part of an athletic family where I am surrounded with people who love the game like I do. I think I am a good candidate for your team because I am a very flexible. I can and will play wherever I am needed most. I will bring a positive attitude to every event, when involved in such events my head will always be in the game. I am also very coachable, I listen, adjust, and look for ways to get better as a player and a person. I am different from other players because I have played almost every position. My high school varsity coach needed a setter and brought me to the position as a sophomore. Being only 5'5, when my school and club team needed a hitter I learned how to jump, be aggressive, and to be smart offensively. My previous position was a defensive specialist/libro. I recently stepped back into this position because I always have and will been successful as a back row player. The last and most important characteristic that makes me different from most recruits is that if I am a member, player, or teammate of your volleyball program you will never have to tell me to work hard. My work ethic is something I take great pride in both on and off the court, and I am confident I will set the bar of commitment for your team.
