Grace Francis '21 Recruiting Profile

Hi!  My name is Grace. 

I will be attending college to pursue a career in Nursing, specifically Labor and Delivery. 

 I started club volleyball the end of my 8th grade year.  I realized right away that volleyball was my sport!  Before, I played a couple years of basketball and was part of a summer swim team.  I would like the opportunity to play VB in college for a number of reasons:

•  I love the game and have a strong desire to continue to develop and grow as an athlete.  The discipline and stamina it requires are lifelong skills that will be applied to whatever I set out to accomplish; on the court, in the classroom, or on the job.
•  I want to stay active and maintain physical strength. 
• I think it is important to find a learning  community in college.  Joining a team is a great way to connect and build strong relationships.  I believe connection plays a strong role in your overall success in college.
• Playing at the college level would be a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity that I do not want to miss out on!

I would be a great addition to a college program because I have strong work ethics and maintain a positive attitude, even when things get tough!  I choose to encourage others, cooperate well, and do my part to maintain unity;  which makes me a strong team player.  Whether academics or athletics, I strive to be the best I can and try to face any challenges head-on.  I accept constructive criticism well and I am very teachable and always willing to work hard to achieve new goals.  I believe others would also describe me as passionate and dedicated.  Overall, I am confident that I would be a valuable asset to any VB team.
