Olivia Gentry '22 Recruiting Profile

Volleyball is my passion and it has been an absolute dream of mine to play at the collegiate level. I would love to play at a school that has fantastic academics as well as an amazing volleyball program. Being a relatively strong and tall person, I believe that the hitting positions are the best fit for me. My spirited personality and willingness to work hard have gotten me to the point I’m at now.  I pride myself on my team-first attitude and ability to work well with others. In addition to this, I believe that I can be a good leader. In my sophomore year my teammates elected me as co-captain of the Varsity volleyball team. 

I have played basketball in addition to volleyball. I believe that playing two sports has helped me with time management, and the ability to work with new people in different situations. As well as the ability to grasp new concepts and ideas and apply them. 

As well as a school that has great volleyball, I would love to go to a school that’s academics are equally as great. I am open to playing at any division but I would prefer to major in a law specific major in the area of real estate law or in the field of entertainment law.  If a school has any type of program like this that would be amazing and would really help to gravitate me to their program.

I was in the National Junior Honors Society, which allowed for the opportunity to volunteer for many organizations in including "Hands Against Hunger" where we had the opportunity to package food for the less fortunate. I have been recently inducted into the National Honors Society. I have finished my past three years of high school with a 4.0 GPA or higher and have received high honors each of those years. In my Sophomore year, I received the all-conference academic award for the Eastern Cincinnati Conference (ECC).
