Olivia Manning '15 Recruiting Profile

I am a very hard working athlete who enjoys training and competition.  I love to play volleyball and aspire to play collegiately.  I am a happy, approachable, and confident person and player.  I am looking forward to continuing my volleyball career and playing the game that I love. I have attended the Setters Sports Performance Camp in Chicago, IL. It was a great experience and I learned a lot. I also was selected as an alternate for our high performance program in our area. Throughout my many years of playing volleyball, I have played many different positions, so I am familiar with the responsibilities of the other players and what they want and are striving for.  I am looking forward to getting better each day in practice.  I am a hard worker in school and always try my best.  When I'm not playing volleyball I love to spend time with my friends and family.  I also love art.  I really like to do all different types of art such as painting, watercolors, colored pencils, graphite, and colored pastels.  I am enjoying my art classes and wish to concentrate in whichever area I end up gravitating towards.  I find great joy in art and sports as they provide both self expression and enjoyment. There is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment after you complete something, whether it's an art piece you worked really hard on, or getting that winning kill in your final game against your rival team that you've been busting your butt for all season.
