Four Sound Players Putting Themselves Out There

One common question to scouts is about how players can get more exposure, thus more looks from college coaches. A big answer to that question is putting themselves out there. Those ways include creating volleyball profiles on places like Instagram and X. These four players have come up with quality ways of putting themselves in the limelight.    Rogers made a video out of a recent Q&A interview she did. She took the question then pasted her answer below it then backed it up with video of her play on Instagram. Rogers has never been afraid to put herself out there. It helps she carried herself well despite not playing high school ball her sophomore year as the result of an injury. Rogers has done reps so many times the technique and quickness on various arm swings comes naturally. She makes quick passes then hits the air only a few seconds later to take solid swings.     Ingle has been to a number of recruiting events and puts out a lot of videos. She is also not afraid to reach out to various people. Ingle carries herself well on and off the court. Her even keel has caught the attention of college recruiters. She constantly finds different ways to improve daily. Ingle instinctively uses her hands on out of system sets as opposed her arms. Great Crossing head coach Adam Ivetic said she does a good job getting in position early and making difficult plays seem easy and impossible ones seem possible. Ivetic admitted she gets overlooked sometimes because her positioning is so good she does not have the flashy plays that others do. Ivetic praised Ingle for being technically sound and asking a lot of great questions.     Daniel (pictured) put up a volleyball Instagram page in the the seventh grade getting a jumpstart on the process. Daniel saw varsity action in six games as a freshman. She is a good communicator on the court. Daniel makes the simple passes consistently. Daniel uses her great range to track down balls. Daniel only dives after balls if necessary.     Weakley has been reaching out to various contacts and attaching videos. She has tremendous upside. Weakley is ferocious on defense in the way she goes hard after balls. Weakley has nice ball placement. She can turn into a solid hitter with work on her net approach and swing speed. [program_tooltip program_id='770111' first='Central' last='Kentucky Youth Volleyball'] Club Director Janet Thacker described Weakley as a fierce competitor that has a game face like no other. Thacker added Weakley wants to win more than anyone on the court. Thacker said she needs to work on being more consistent as a hitter and stay more even keeled in games instead of flowing in the emotional highs and lows of the game.
