Message from Alex

My name is Alex Rivera, and I am a 5-foot-10, 160-pound setter from Shadow Ridge High School in Surprise, Arizona. I will graduate in 2026 and currently hold a 3.5 GPA. I plan to major in business/marketing. Beyond my academic and athletic commitments, I pride myself on my leadership skills and ability to foster strong team chemistry, ensuring my teammates stay motivated and focused during every match. As a setter, I am the on-court strategist, constantly analyzing the game and making quick decisions to give my team the best chance to succeed.   My work ethic extends far beyond scheduled practices. I train 4-5 days a week focusing on plyometrics, strength, and spend extra time refining my skills through club volleyball and watching film. Academically I challenge myself with Honors and dual-enrollment classes demonstrating my dedication to excellence in all aspects of life. I’m also involved in youth volleyball programs in my city, which have helped shape my discipline and teamwork. My ability to stay composed under pressure and lift my teammates up during tough moments is what makes me stand out as a player and a leader.   Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your program.
