Prospects to Watch @PrepDigCa: In Their Own Words

<!-- 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></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:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["515004"],"_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=u0022p1u0022u003eI am a passionate and dedicated individual with a love for competitive volleyball.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eI live by the quote, u0022The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win,u0022 by Kobe Bryant.

I am currently a sophomore at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory in San Francisco, CA. During my high school season, I played libero where I played a major role in helping my team to a 19-6 record. My commitment to volleyball started at a young age and continues today. I am also showing my skills on my club team, the SF Tremors 16-1s “Palkons”, where we are currently ranked u003ca href=u0022https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/8/u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eu003cbu003e#8u003c/bu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/au003e in NCVA. I play with the “go” mentality; I will chase any ball down and I am able to get a playable touch. I excel at tracking the ball, by reading where the hitter and server is aiming. I play with a mindset to push myself, and with determination to win. In addition, in the role as a libero to successfully run my backrow and guide my hitters to find open seams, it is key for me, both on and off of the court, to motivate my team mates and communicate during every second. As we enter the middle of club season, I want to continue to improve as a player and teammate, to bounce back after hard fought games. I display my commitment as a player by practicing and working out 6 days per week. On the court I am a leader, team player, coachable, confident and a determined player. I am very excited for the rest of the club season, as it is important to me to continue to improve my skills! Looking forward, I hope to play at the collegiate level, and to excel in the next level at a college with much school spirit. I attended the DIII Collegiate Camp at [program_tooltip program_id='429395' first='Encore' last='Volleyball'] Club and had a very thrilling experience meeting all the coaches. I plan on attending more collegiate camps in the future. In addition, social media has given me more exposure than I could have ever imagined. The positive response has helped me realize that it's possible to play at the next level. I look forward to the future ahead and will continue to play with a determined mindset.u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eUpcoming Tournament: Far Westerns 4/13u003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eSocials: Youtube- madimullinsvb Instagram- madimullinsvb Tiktok- madimullinsvbu003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eSF Tremors Volleyball Club 16-1 Palkons u003ca href=u0022https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/29/?hl=enu0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003e#29u003c/spanu003eu003c/au003eu003c/pu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4DzdtTxd6-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==u0022u003ehttps://www.instagram.com/reel/C4DzdtTxd6-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==u003c/au003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660c9d26dfcaf"} /-->
