My name is Brooklynn Draheim Brooklynn Draheim 5'9" | OH/DS/L Santana | 2026 CA , and I am a 15 year old outside hitter/ DS on the 16-1 elite travel team at ECVBA in California. I have chosen to participate in the Prep Dig Pre-Tournament showcase for many reasons, but the main one is to display my abilities and to grab attention. Even so, I am also participating because it is an excellent opportunity to get extra beneficial touches before Nationals.

A little bit about me: I am a hard worker on and off the court and I am ambitious and aspire to do many great things in my life. Starting with playing in college and becoming a Physical therapist so I can continue to fuel my love of sports by helping other athletes stay healthy to achieve their dreams. As a player, I am undersized in my position, but that has never stopped me from putting in the work and constantly working on my skills in other positions to be a more versatile player. I am a team player who continuously supports those I am playing around with, and I celebrate other’s successes as if they are my own. Although, I am not afraid to take charge and lead a team to victory by example of good sportsmanship and a positive mindset. In addition to making sure my mind stays healthy in my mental game, I always strive to be the most competitive and determined player on the court at all times. I will always take opportunities to be aggressive at the net while also playing smart and using my IQ.

In addition, I am one to go for everything in the back row; if it takes me jumping into the bleachers to make a save, that is what I’ll do. Even if I doubt I can get a ball, I will still put in 100% effort to keep that ball off of the ground. And as much as I take the sport seriously, I also take academics very seriously and challenge myself daily. My work paid off as I finished my freshman year with honors and maintained all A’s. This year, as a sophomore, I have taken two honors and one AP class. I finished with all A’s my first semester, giving me a 4.5 weighted GPA and 4.0 unweighted. And approaching the end of the year I finished this semester with all A’s too. Overall I am a highly competitive athlete who works harder than most and strives to be the best I can in all aspects.
