Tosha Thompson '13 Recruiting Profile

Hi my name is Tosha Thompson. I am a Junior at Amery High School. I weigh about 145lbs and I am about 5'5 3/4". I have a lot of skill to offer and I'm willing to prove myself worthy. I have been in volleyball for 7 years now, and started when I was in 5th grade. From 5th to 8th grade we have a program called Volleyball Boosters. Where we attend tournaments on Saturday's playing up to 5 matches in a day. Over the past seven years I have gained a lot of confidence with the helping hands of my coaches giving me extra support. For example, I have become a lot more confident in my passing and my control over my sets. As one of my coaches once said, "When we touch the ball it has to help our team." I am willing to work hard and push myself to the limit! I am often the one who encourages my teammates saying, "Nice hit! Keep it up ladies." I'm the one that will shag balls when needed and hustle all the time! I like to encourage my teammates when we are working out,like doing planks, encouraging everyone to keep it up and to push through it because even though it hurts now it'll defiantly pay off in the long run! One of my ultimate dreams is to play volleyball at a college level. It's been my dream for so long and I'm so excited about putting myself out there for coaches to know who I actually am! I am not looking for just one exact school I am open to many different options that can apply to me. But at the moment i am interested in chiropractic and would like to go to a school that offers me a chiropractic pre-study. So than I could get a science degree and than go to a Chiropractic School. I find it fascinating how we can heal ourselves naturally without medications and such. My dream is to play at a level higher than high school. I also want to make an impact on a team, go far with a team and remember it forever. As well as making an impact I'd like to keep pushing myself forward as an athlete and keep improving on my skills. I think I could go far if I really put my mind to it!
