Payton Fendley '25 Recruiting Profile

I want to become a player that is reliable and makes other players feel like they want to compete against. I feed off of competition and I always hold myself to put in 100% effort. I feel having me on you’re team would add a sense of seriousness you would want to have when playing a five set match and the score is 26-26 but also would add a person to loft the mood when you’re in a  hole and need to lighten the energy on the court. Playing the all around position through my club and high school gives me the ability to know all positions on the court and be utilized wherever a team needs me. I feel as if I am different than other recruits because I am willing to drop everything and be at that last minute morning practice and come ready to put in all my efforts and also I am always trying to be the best at what I am doing. I want my teammates to be as passionate about the sport and give the same amount of effort I’m giving, and if they’re not doing that and being the best version of themselves I will push them and try to do what I can in order to better themselves and ultimately the team. I also would make sure academics stayed a priority for me. I was raised with the first one to practice and the last one to leave mentality. I am good with time management and I hate to be late, that being said all my work would be on time and I’d never be late for practice.
