Samantha Waite '16 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing volleyball for 7 years and I've loved every second of it. The minute I stepped foot on the court, I fell in love. Playing college volleyball has been a goal of mine for a long time. In the classroom, I work really hard to learn the most I can. I balance sports and school really well. I feel like I bring out the best in my teammates on and off the court. I lead them in the way we need to go. I put them on my back and say, "Follow me, I know the way."  The weight room has always been somewhere I love being and I love seeing the results I get from working hard in there. I believe practices are the best way to get a successful team so I work really hard every practice and encourage my teammates to do the same. I have been told I am a game changer. My team follows in my footsteps and I wouldn't want it any other way. Playing college volleyball and getting a good education is something I  look forward to in the future.
