Mercedes Garcia '23 Recruiting Profile

I am from a small school in Texas where I wish to be in a great college for my field of study. I am planning to play college volleyball for two years in a junior community college and to get transfer to a university. I play middle front however, I can also work around the court to where a coach thinks is best for me if I have to change my position. The difference with me is shy often and I have not played sports at a very young age, I was the quiet overweight kid that has trouble making friends. Now I have changed the way I am and I am beginning to be more open with myself. I wish to work with you all and to enjoy my college years. My future job is to be an athletic trainer because I recently noticed athletes getting hurt and having to stop the game to take care of them. So I am going to take courses to help me be a trainer so I can help athletes in need when they get hurt. However, in my Hudl videos I never get played a lot only “when my coach needs me too.” also she gets mad at the first six that mess up and never take them out and let the others on the bench play instead of letting them play, and I’m one of them. Recently I have been very distracted from my focus to my recruiting and I have been slacking for I was too busy or I was just on the phone which is my worst habit. However, I had attended a show case in November for the Thanksgiving break and had a interesting time because I got hit in the face and broke my glasses. Even though I couldn't see I still played my hardest and a lot of the coaches were impress by how I never gave up and I did get recognized by it because they know that I never gave up. I also had a show case in December where I got a A- rating by Coach
