Why do you want to play college volleyball? 

I love to compete and challenge myself, it gives me something to work and build on. I also love the team aspect of getting to play with my best friends.

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

In-season for school volleyball looks like going to school then straight to practices which are on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays and our games are on Tuesday and Thursdays. On weekends I relax at home with friends and family. In-season for club looks a little different we typically have practices on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday which are 2- 2 and a half hours long later at night (7-10pm). Also during the week I workout at MPF (maximum performance fitness) twice a week right after school. On weekends we have tournaments usually 3 day long tournaments (fri-sun). My “off-season” is in the summer and during that I go to college invite camps, work out at MPF, go to high school camp (Mondays and Tuesday), in July we have high school team camps we attend, or I do private lessons through volt. Other than volleyball I go to lake, go shopping, hangout with friends and family, and babysit.

What are your academic interests or intended major? 

I am unsure as of now but have liked the idea of physical therapy, dentistry, or maybe a sports agent.

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

I make time for all aspects of my life and to do that I have good time management. When I am not playing volleyball I try and focus on other things in my life so that I can give those time too. I make sure to give myself breaks and those help me be the best version of myself.

My Final Thoughts:

Brynlie Richman Brynlie Richman 5'11" | S/RS West Fargo Sheyenne | 2028 State ND has earned her place as the top setter in North Dakota because she impacts the match in so many ways. While her ability to run an offense stands out immediately, what makes her especially dangerous is the threat she presents at the net. She attacks with confidence, makes smart decisions in pressure situations, and shows a level of offensive awareness that is well beyond her age. Opponents cannot simply focus on her hitters because Brynlie is capable of creating points herself. Pair that with her work ethic and competitive drive, and it is easy to see why she continues to separate herself from her peers. The ceiling for her game remains incredibly high, and her ability to influence every phase of a match makes her one of the most exciting young setters to watch in the region.~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

Brynlie Richman Brynlie Richman 5'11" | S/RS West Fargo Sheyenne | 2028 State ND is on pace to be one of the best setters to come out of North Dakota in the 2028 class.
