Why do you want to play college volleyball? 

I want to play college volleyball to continue to play the game I love, it allows me to compete, and work hard while also fostering new relationships and having fun.

What does your training schedule look like in-season and off-season? 

In season I have club practice 3 days a week, and try to lift 3-4 days a weeks plus one day of plyometrics. Off season I strive to lift everyday of the week and do one plyometric workout as well as open gyms for high school season.

What are your academic interests or intended major? 

My academics interests currently are going on a pre-med track or marketing/business but am not completely sure yet.

How do you balance school, sports, and your personal life? 

I balance school, sports, and personal life by mastering a schedule and sticking to it. Finding a consistent routine and sticking with it and when I have free time i use that time for friends and family depending on what i had already done that week regarding athletics.

My Final Thoughts: Some players leave you talking about one swing. Wells Batcheller Wells Batcheller 5'10" | OH/DS/L Lincoln | 2028 State SD leaves you talking about the entire match. The longer I watch her compete, the more I appreciate all of the small things she does that help teams win. She seems to have a feel for when a match needs a spark, a steadying play, or someone willing to take responsibility in a big moment. Those qualities are difficult to measure, but they are impossible to ignore once you see them. Wells may not always be the loudest story coming out of a tournament, but she is often one of the players I find myself writing down before I leave the gym.
