Georgia Ahlert '25 Recruiting Profile

I run killer slides and 3s!!  I am a tenacious blocker and keep the ball playable off the net.

My family has played a big role in shaping me. One of the first things people notice about me is my competitive nature and that can be attributed to being the middle child of five kids. I’ve always wanted to be first in everything: academics, sports and games. Even though I’m competitive with my siblings, I still consider them to be my best friends, and I find comfort in the fact that they are supportive and love me. The same goes with my parents who encourage my decision-making and make me confident in the person I am by supporting and providing for me. They teach me important life lessons and have been the foundation for my morals.

I started playing volleyball in fourth grade with the team at my school, and then I started club the year after. Every girl in my grade said they enjoyed it and I did too.  I've learned that I can communicate and adapt to other people, so that I can get along with them and be a good teammate. I’ve also learned what it means to be a good leader: being selfless and knowing how to help and encourage younger or less experienced teammates to play to the best of their ability.

My academic goals for high school are to graduate as the valedictorian and keep my 4.0 GPA through my senior year. I also want to continue performing well on all of my AP tests my junior and senior year. For college I want to have a high GPA and graduate well prepared for my future.

One of the biggest obstacles I’ve faced as an athlete is stress and time management. Sometimes stress from my sport can feel overbearing combined with the standards I’ve held for myself as a student, but I’ve realized that any stress I have doesn’t compare to the gratification I feel from playing volleyball or any other sport.

My experience with multiple sports, athleticism, and my intelligence have helped me to perform at a high level and play smart during competition. As a multi-sport athlete, I can see and read the court or field really well, analyze situations, and know what to do with the ball to help my teams score on offense.  I am a tenacious and aggressive defender in blocking.  In play off the net, I am excellent at keeping the ball alive and in play.  I am a competitor whose main focus is to help my teams win.
