Michelle Henwood '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing volleyball for 12 years, since I was 4 years old. I play volleyball for fun.  I love it, and I want to have the opportunity to play collegiate volleyball.  I am beginning to learn about the sacrifices that I have to make to play at the collegiate level. I would love to have this opportunity to be a better player, learn more about the game, and get a great education. 

I am a 6 rotation setter, who can also hit.  For the past 2 years I have been working really hard on my jump setting. I’m a very hard working and coachable player.  I play with passion, whether on the court, or on the beach.    

I attend Academia Maria Reina, a good academic and sports high school.  I am fully bilingual in both english and Spanish.  I play volleyball, basketball, beach volleyball and softball during my freshman year. This year, my sophomore year, I am playing volleyball, basketball and beach volleyball.  Recently, I was chosen as one of 18 athletes to be part of Puerto Rico's under 18 and 20 national volleyball team. 

If I am lucky enough to have this opportunity I would make sure to make the most of it. I am open to all kind of opportunities and I’m going to make sure the college/university I choose is the perfect match for my studies and volleyball. I would love to be a role model to all of the young Puerto Rican girls that aspire to play collegiate volleyball.
