Emily Lescallette '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a setter by nature, however, I am able (and has) to play any position.  Like on the court, I am also a very diverse person. I would love to continue my career playing volleyball in college as I can't imagine not playing the sport I love. Playing in college gives me the opportunity improve my life skills both in college and after I would graduate and enter the workforce. 

I have learned so much on and off the court. Volleyball is a sport you cannot play by yourself and requires a team. Being a part of a team means you need to communicate with all the players and coaches as well as to adapt to circumstances around you. I believe that being a leader on the court and keeping the team’s energy up is a big part of being a part of your team. The energy you and your team give off affects the way you play so keeping positive energy keeps the people around you positive. Off the court, this has helped me stay strong mentally and physically and has improved my communication skills with the people around me. Taking feedback from coaches and other players as well, is something I always appreciate and take into consideration the moment I get back on that court to try and become a better player as well as a better teammate. I am a very passionate and optimistic person as well as being very determined when it comes to my work ethic. What I can contribute to the team is optimism, a high volleyball IQ, a strong work ethic, willing to do whatever it takes to help the team succeed, play any position, and positively contribute to the team environment. I hope that you are able to see me play.

Besides my school activities, I volunteer at my church throughout the year and volunteer for Autism Speaks, in honor of my brother, Jacob, who was diagnosed with Autism at age two. As a student, I am an A/B student. I currently have a 3.1 GPA I am planning on taking my SAT/ACT's in the near future.
