Claudia Borri-Fernandez '20 Recruiting Profile

Volleyball has been my passion since I started playing when I was 10 years old.  What made volleyball appealing to me was simple: 6 players all working together to achieve a goal.  Throughout my playing career,  my teammates have become like part of my family.   Spending countless hours in a court,  practicing skills,  doing drills and getting to know each other.  Sometimes we just have to look at each other to know what we are thinking.  This is something that I would definitely bring to my future college team.  I will be the best teammate I can possibly be.  For example, this year I played a different position that I am used to just because my coach and team needed me to do so.  I practiced extra hard and accepted the challenge because it was the best I could do for my team.  I am willing to sacrifice and do things outside my comfort zone for the benefit of my team.  

Volleyball has taught me how to manage my time wisely.  I am constantly planning ahead to complete my schoolwork on time.  This is why I am specially proud of my GPA so far, because I have managed schoolwork and volleyball very well.  I plan on doing so through high school and college as well.  

I am exited to begin this journey to become a college student-athlete.  This has been a goal of mine for quite some time.  I am prepared to work extremely hard, both academically and in my sport.  I am ready for the long hours ahead, both in the classroom and in the court.  I will improve my game every single day and listen to my coaches to become the best player I can be.   To my future college coach, in me you will get an extremely hard working and unselfish player who is a team player above all.
