Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Chris Fitzgerald -The 6’0 2026 prospect has the IQ of knowing what shots to use and when. She is very fundamentally sound with her footwork out of the middle where she can set a strong block, transition and be ready to attack. She is another one who isn’t afraid to take a big swing or use the block to her advantage. Prep Dig https://prepdig.com/2024/04/wisconsin-and-illinois-hidden-gems-of-2026/

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

Very goal driven but lighthearted. I am very driven and work hard in everything I do. You might find a better player, but you won't find one that works harder than me. I love to build up my teammates and create energy with a big swing or block.

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

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

I believe in leading from the front. As such, I've put myself in many situations "outside of my comfort zone". This includes leading my peers on homecoming committee, volunteering at fundraisers, and guiding our student council as a member of the exec board.

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

Time. I train 15-18 hours a week on top of my school schedule. Additionally, I am in leadership positions within numerous clubs at school. You can imagine my time is spread thin amongst many activities. I've had to learn how to manage my time and time block my free time. Managing my time has played a significant role in reaching the academic and athletic goals I've set for myself.

What type of college are you looking for?

A four-year university where I can challenge myself academically and contribute to my volleyball team's success. Simply put, I'm looking for the right fit.
