 All right, what am I looking for in a volleyball player to come to Stevenson and play beach or indoor volleyball? First thing that I look for is somebody that is an academically strong student. If you're coming to Stevenson to solely to play volleyball, you're not going to make it because the academics here are rigorous. We look for somebody that is going to have a good 3.5 or above GPA, good SAT scores, and someone that will excel here. My goal is that they graduate in four years and have a job waiting for them when they graduate. Then comes the volleyball part. Looking for someone that is competitive, someone that is willing to work for a spot, someone that is not afraid to step up at big moments, somebody that's confident yet not cocky. Our girls believe they can win. That's why we've been into the NCAA tournament nine years in a row. We've not lost a conference match post-season or regular season in eight years, so the belief in themselves and in our team and in our program is something that is ingrained in our culture. We've had a great deal of success. Our players have many individual honors, having NCAA Woman of the Year from Stevenson be a volleyball player at least six times, having an honorable mention or above all American every single year, mainly because it is such a team sport that our players know that they will not excel unless the rest of the team is able to excel. The reason we're in the top 25, then our players get recognized because we're in the top 25, so then they get recognized as being a really strong player. When I am working with a recruit and why they should choose Stevenson, there are a number of factors. One is the exceptional education that they will receive. My oldest son graduated from Stevenson before I was coach and I was thrilled with the personal attention he got from the professors, the 15 to 17 students in each class, his ability to get a job and have the skills to market himself when he graduated from Stevenson. Our facilities are second to none. Our ability to get as many touches as we can in practice with three courts that we use every single day, the ability of our coaches to make them a better player. Many players come that we're not particularly highly recruited by other schools but when they get here we can turn them into all Americans. The third thing is, if you're playing Division 3 volleyball, you're playing it for one reason, to have fun. We have fun. We love to compete, our practices are so competitive, we stat everything, so you've got to have to work for your spot if you're here but in the end we have a lot of fun together and that team bond that we create is long lasting relationships as it seems like every year kids graduate and then they're getting married and who's in their wedding? They're all volleyball people, whether they're from the men's volleyball or the women's volleyball program, we're all one big happy family.
