Mollie Hays '21 Recruiting Profile

I have committed to attend and play volleyball at Hardin-Simmons University as of August 2018.  Thank you!

I am a lock-down serve receiver and I will be in college too.  I went the entire 2018-19 club season (playing up a year)  with 323 serve receives and only 24 handling errors.  I take pride in owning three fifths of the back row on serve receive.  I know what a good pass is.  I've studied it,  understand it, and am committed to it.  Serve receive is my passion.  I am one of the top passers in the class of 2021 in Texas in my opinion.  I can also score.  Over 25 percent of my serves in the 2018-19 club season were aces.  

My 2018-19 club coach was Jan Barker,  who is in the Texas Coaches Hall of Fame. I received Best Defense award at a West Texas A&M volleyball camp and Best Passer award at College Expectations Camp in Amherst VA. in 2018. This camp is directed by college coaches and is for players intent on playing college ball, and I won the award as a rising sophomore! I also made it to the USAV High Performance top court at 2018 Crossroads and had no handling errors on that court. I have also attended libero camp at UCLA as well as Sports Performance First Contact Academy ("boot camp") in Chicago in 2019.

I am a good teammate. My parents have taught me to respect everyone whether they are popular or not. I have high morals.  I believe my peers respect me. as I have been a finalist for class favorite every year of high school.  I have ADD, but I study very hard and make mostly As and Bs.  I want to work in a career where I am able to help others, maybe a counselor, coach, or doctor. I love helping other people. 

I want to play for a coach who believes in playing loose and having fun.  Athletes perform their best when they are not afraid of making mistakes.
