About Carley

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I have worked hard on my game. I am a setter and a hitter. On my club team I set when I am in the back row and play middle and right side when I am in front row, occasionally taking serve receive. I love to play the game. I am a steady, calm player who works good under pressure and can handle adversity. I know what to do to help win the game. I lead my team with my steady play and good decisions.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am a strong, happy person with a strong faith in God. I rely on my faith to help me in all times - good and bad. My style is strong, steadfast leader. I keep my highs and lows in check on and off the court. I am a very hard worker. My journey has been filled with growth opportunities including playing with girls my own age, older and younger. I am extremely coachable.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am a 3 sport athlete at Columbus High School. I play volleyball, basketball and tennis. I lettered in all three sports my sophomore year. I am involved in my church youth group, go on 2 mission trips a year with my youth group, National Honor Society and Student Council. I participated in Youth Leadership Columbus and volunteer to help with youth volleyball programs.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I am a team player and want the success of the team to always come first. I take responsibility for my own play and work hard to always do my best. I am always helping the passers and the hitters try positive and keep going. I am a quiet leader and lead by example. I am a very consistent player and know details of the game including my side of the court and the other side. I am encouraging.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I have not always been tall so I started off as a setter in 5th grade in club playing with older girls. I worked hard my freshman year strengthening my legs as I was growing after an injury. I was fortunate enough to start working with Sports Performance Training. I have been intensive training over a two years and half with excellent results to my vertical and other metrics.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am good at math and science. I am looking at colleges where I can grow in STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields. I am also interested business and agricultural opportunities. I am looking for a college I can play volleyball and obtain my degree. I am open to looking at colleges with Pre-engineering programs. I am looking for a team I can be a strong contributor.
