Lauren Morris '16 Recruiting Profile

I was the worst player on my 7th grade volleyball team.  I was fortunate to have been given a chance to play by my coaches.  I capitalized on the chance and I worked hard at learning the skills necessary to excel at the sport.  I have continued to take every opportunity possible to increase my skill set.  In addition to playing for my high school and club teams, I attend volleyball camps, do personal training, and take personal lessons to increase my abilities.  There is hardly a day that goes by that I am not actively working on improving my volleyball game.  It is a lot of work but I do it all because I truly love the game.  Volleyball is not just a game to me.   Volleyball has taught me to have a strong work ethic, the value of teamwork, to have more self-confidence, and to be a leader.   These are skills that I know will serve me well into the future with my chosen career and my life.

My goal is to be a nurse practitioner.  I have always admired people who help others and I would like to use my skills to help others also.  I am a very dedicated student who loves to read.  I am self-motivated and organized without the need for supervision to make deadlines from my parents or teachers.

I always arrive early and prepared.  I believe in leading by example and I treat others the way that I would like to be treated.  I know I would be an asset to a college volleyball team because I am a vocal leader, team player, and dedicated to constant improvement.  I tenaciously pursue being a winner and champion in volleyball and all that I do.
