by Illinois Prep Volleyball
Hi, I'm Jess
HS Class of 2023, Outside Hitter
I am a 6'0" outside hitter and play national club, high school, and beach volleyball. I was honored to be named one of the top 10 pin hitters in Illinois and ranked as one of the Top 150 players in the U.S. by PrepVolleyball.com. I was excited to be named to the AVCA Phenom List and receive the 2020 JVA AthLeader award for outstanding volleyball performance, leadership, and academic excellence. This fall I will be a sophomore (age 15) at Barrington High School (Illinois) and am the starting outside six on the Varsity team. My freshman HS season I ranked #2 in Illinois in kills for the Class of 2023 and had 17 kills in the regional semi-final victory. In the past I have played 6 years of travel soccer and 4 years of AAU basketball, and qualified for the Junior Olympics in 100m hurdles and long jump. My goal is to attend an excellent academic university and play college volleyball.

I continuously work to improve my game by adding in upper and lower body strength workouts, cross training (rowing machine, VersaClimber, slide board, bike, 42"box jumps), and daily mental workouts. The mental workouts consist of positive identity statements, visualization, and the keys to being a difference maker on the court.
