Vaida Cardenas '27 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to become the best volleyball player I can become because volleyball is my passion. I also aspire to become successful in life and I want to do that by becoming a nurse which is what I've wanted to do for my whole life. I'm different from other recruits because I'm a very coachable person, I'll always respond to feedback from coaches, I strive to show a positive attitude on and off the court but I also know when to be serious and when to have fun, I know that when I'm on the court that the game is my main focus and I shouldn't be thinking about anything else, and I know how to read other players so I can know, as a setter, if they are ready to hit or not. Academically I strive to always be a straight A student because I know that school is just as important to being successful so its very important to me just like volleyball is and I know that to go to college I need good grades so I plan on making sure I stay a straight A student also while getting better at volleyball.
