Prospects to Watch @PrepDigCa: 15’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PrepDigCa's Instagram shines a spotlight on our ‘Prospects to Watch,' providing invaluable social exposure to athletes aspiring to play at the collegiate level. Our featured prospects attract attention and ‘likes' from a diverse array of colleges, ranging from D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO. While highlight clips are informative, they can miss the essence of a player's personality and character. At PrepDig, we take a proactive approach, encouraging our athletes to actively participate in their recruitment exposure within our articles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When a player earns the title of ‘Prospect to Watch,' we reach out, extending an invitation to share their unique voice and perspective. We firmly believe that this transcends mere highlights, offering colleges a deeper understanding of the athlete as a whole. This article also offers players, parents, and coaches a window into the character of our prospects. It's with great pleasure that I present to you the voices of some of our standout Prospects to Watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":"","_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66116746773d6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["469035"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eMy name is [player_tooltip player_id='469035' first='Peyton' last='Recinos']! I am currently an 8th grader playing for SG Elite 15 Roshambo as a Outside Hitter/Libero. I started playing club when I was 7 years old as a libero and fell in love with the game instantly. It was about three years ago when my dream came true and I transitioned to the outside hitter position. That was about the time when I really started becoming serious about wanting to play volleyball in college.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eMy favorite quote from Kobe Bryant is, “Hard work outweighs talent every time.” Despite being an undersized outside hitter, I knew I would need to increase my vertical, get faster, and stronger to be able to compete.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eSo that is what I did! My training consists of club practices, running hills, plyometrics, agility, basic volleyball fundamentals, and increasing my volleyball IQ.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eI want to inspire others that anything can be possible if you put the work in. I may not have the height or ability to hit the 10 feet line, but being able to accurately place my shots, tooling the block, getting touches on the block, and having strong defense skills I feel makes me just as effective as other outside hitters. Also, being able to play two positions gives me the ability to change positions if needed.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eFinally, my goal is to play volleyball in college and be a part of the USA Women's National Team to compete in the Olympics for a gold medal one day.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eUpcoming tournaments:u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eSalt Lake City Showdown (4/6-4/8)u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eRegional Bid Event 5/4-5/5)u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eSCVA Championship (6/1-6/2)u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eGirls Junior National Championships in Vegas (7/8-7/11).u003c/pu003ern[embed]https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4dfUJwxoVc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==[/embed]rnu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.instagram.com/peytonrecinos2028/?hl=enu0022u003e@peytonrecinos2028u003c/au003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.instagram.com/sgelitevbc/?hl=enu0022u003e@sgelitevbcu003c/au003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4dfUJwxoVc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==u0022u003ehttps://www.instagram.com/reel/C4dfUJwxoVc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==u003c/au003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["481528"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eHi my name is [player_tooltip player_id='481528' first='Luna' last='Magallanes'] from Laguna Hills High School Class of 2027. I am a Libero from Orange County, California.  I started playing volleyball when I was about 7 years old because I wanted to be just like my older sister.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eI connected with OCVC in 2020 when my first club team fell apart. I was introduced to the club director of OCVC when I was 12 and invited to be on one of their first girl teams. This year, I play at OCVC on the 15-1's as a libero and I feel so lucky to be a part of this team. This year we have added a coach that played libero in college so now I am getting extra technique work and tips on how to be the best libero I can possibly be. It is really important to have good coaches and directors that support you and I think OCVC displays that concept perfectly. Everyone at this club is so welcoming and supportive and will truly help you become your best.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eApart from volleyball and in honor of being Argentinian, I am working on my goal to receive my Spanish Language equivalency Diploma from Spain in 2027. I have been in the Immersion Program for 10 years already and am planning to be in it through senior year. As a part of my dual English and Spanish immersion studies for proficiency in reading, writing and speaking in both languages, I will finish high school passing those exams!u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eBack to volleyball, I just came back from the Caribbean Volleyball Championships in Puerto Rico where my team finished 3rd in the Open division.
