Jenna Hugenschmidt ‘19 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I look forward to the next phase of my growth as a young woman, going to college.  I am looking for the whole college experience including playing the sport that I love and fulfilling my academic requirements and becoming a teacher.   My brother is special needs and has influenced my desire to become a teacher and to help mold other young women and men. 

I started playing volleyball in 7th grade while on vacation with my family at the beach.  I recall not being able to serve the ball over the net.  Playing volleyball in Middle School I was very nervous about playing in front of everyone.  Now I love all of the excitement that happens during a close match or playoffs. 

Each year I have improved as a volleyball player and have consistently played all around on each team since modified.  I bring a high energy level and a calming influence on my teammates even in high pressure situations.   My teammates seem to feed off of plays that I make on the court and raise their level of play.

I look forward to continuing to grow as a collegiate volleyball player and student.
